Okay, so there are 1.1 billion Catholics in the world, and several hundred million protestants...that means roughly 1/5 of the world is Christian...so, 4 out of 5 people are going to Hell according to common Christian perception. I say that's bullshit. Would God have made a bet and lost? I think not. How could 20% be a win? It can't.
God's bet was that Job wouldn't give in to temptation...that's what sin is, giving in to temptation. If not believing in god comes naturally to you, or if another religion comes naturally to you, then denying God's existence isn't giving in to temptation; it's a philosophical conclusion devoid of anyone's input but our own and founded upon our thoughts alone, not the influences of others. So long as mistakes we make are honest mistakes in our own thoughts, we do not stray into temptation. God would obviously win the bet under those conditions.
