I was mostly speaking about the assumption that God is who allowed Lucifer to punish Job. God did not, since he gave both humans and Lucifer free will. If God were to intervene, that wouldn't be free will. The notion that God letting Lucifer do terrible stuff to Job makes God bad, but Lucifer good, is absolutely ridiculously silly. This is a big part of the beginning of the book of Job.

Job asked for God for a miracle. God didn't just do it for no reason.
