And yet, why take everything away without a real purpose? It seems that man serves God just for fun. God had no real reason to punish and take everything away from Job, rather He did it purely to satisfy a curiosity that Satan had aroused in him. The Book of Job also emphasizes that God truly needs nothing from us as He is omnipotent and creates everything. Then there is the question that asks why bad things happen to good people. This is also not answered in the book. Instead it seems to lead you to the idea that God works in strange and mysterious ways that should not be questioned. When Job's three friends try to explain that Job must have done something wrong to be punished, God later refutes this by saying that the three friends were wrong. God also condemns them for believing that Job could do such a thing, further explaining that Job is good and there was no reason for bad things to happen to him, and cementing the idea that God is capricious. God can be further demonstrated to be fickle by what He did to Job's sons. God is supposed to be good and does not desire suffering or want to perpetuate evil. In this regard, why kill ten children? These boys may have sinned, but Job asked for their forgiveness with offerings every day. They are just children and sacrificing one's life to appease Satan does not eradicate evil, it perpetuates it. The death of a human being cannot be seen as an act of good, regardless of the power that carries it out
