That is exactly the source of my puzzlementation(tm). This must be the part of me that is doing all the bowing back atcha, eh?

Describing God as being angry at a tax census that likely angered the people, on the other hand, does seem to make sense.

PS I did understand "your" explanation to be "by proxy" rather than representing your views if that wasn't clear.

I'd like someone to fill me in a bit, if possible. Just what actions are attributed to Satan in the Bible? Does his tally of violence and harm to man come anywhere close to God's?

I've heard it said that the devil never did anything he could be arrested for.
