 "question": "What does Satan want Job to do?",
 "answer": "Satan wants Job to curse God to His face. What would thrill him more than anything is to hear one of God's own children say \"God isn't fair\" or \"How could God let this happen to me?\" A little blasphemy from a believer is all he is after, because it seems to reinforce his theory that God's people serve Him only for the gifts and never because they love the Giver. He longs to make God's own family do his accusing for him.",
