There was a special on the devil, but there was one part that stuck out to me...

They were talking about the book of Job, if you're not familiar with it, it goes like this, Satan makes a wager with God, Satan says that one of his followers, Job, will curse his name if tempted enough. God agrees, but only if Job isn't physically harmed. Satan then takes away all of his material possesions, and he kills Job's family before his own eyes. Job then curses God's name, but asks for forgiveness afterward.

Alright, now here's where things get hairy, they had a bible expert on, and she said that if bad things are done upon you, it is not God, but Satan, and that you can be assured no harm will be done upon you.
Woahwhoahwoah, bring it back.

First, God agreed to it! Shouldn't it then be Satan AND God's fault?

Second, doesn't that blind faith that you won't be harmed sem kind of selfish? "Go ahead and kill my family, for I am sure that I will not be harmed." I would rather die myself than have my family killed.

Can anyone who is more enlightened enlighten me on this issue? I've never been religious, atheist nearly all my life, but I am very interested in religion for some reason, and when I heard this I was like "HUH?".
