" So what happened?".
" One day, your crazy God tells me about a person named Job".
" Did you know him?".
" Of course". The voice cackled. " I'd been observing his life for decades".
" Then what?".
" I told your God that the reason he loves you is because his life is perfect".
" What did God do?".
" He told me I was wrong". His voice hesitated. " To prove it he took away his protection".
" Then what did you do?".
" I destroyed his family, his farm, his livestock and his wealth".
" He did not give in".
" That's true". He sighed. " I was stunned that this two legged moron kept worshiping your God".
" What did you do?".
" I told your God that the reason he stilled loved him was because of his health".
Jesse took another sip of coffee. " What did God do?".
" He let me have his body up to a point".
" What do you mean by up to a point?".
" I could not take his life".
" Still he never gave in".
" After all that I did". The voice hesitated. " I knew that I had lost this one".
" Interesting".
