Haha, yeah. I wasn't even being "online pessimistic" about that. I mean it as a literal matter-of-fact. I grew up Catholic and that's how we were taught the story with maybe only slightly more insight but not really.

Which is sad, because a lot of bible stories are pretty boring but Job is one that is kind of immensely interesting from the implications of it. God is perpetuating the evil upon Job, not Lucifer. If anything, Lucifer seems to have control of the situation.
