Floorpuncher, you always talk about opening your mind to other religions and studying skeptically, but I must say you're still very close-minded. You appear to have your mind set before you even hear the story.

I do study with an open mind. But this and other stories have never made sense to me. I understand the moral behind the story, I just think it's a poor way of demonstrating the point.
Regardless this still doesn't explain why God succumbed to the temptations of the Devil.
