==Interpretation==
  −
Some have raised the point that one must assume three things to be true:
  −
1.  God is good
  −
2.  God is all-powerful
  −
3.  Job is a good man
  −
  −
God is good, and Job is definately a good man, the most devout and righteous of all.  If God were all-powerful, he could have prevented Satan from ever asking the question, or destroy Satan, or convince Satan without taking any action, or a host of other things.  Through logic, if one takes the story to be true, God to be good and Job to be fair, then God must not be all-powerful.
