Also, we don't accept this argument for people, I'm not sure why we should accept it for God. Also this argument is addressed (I believe satisfactorily) by The Tale of the Twelve Officers: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mark_vuletic/five.html Thanks for commenting — however, as per the post, in Job we specifically have God going out of his way to inflict grief and suffering.
