IT was not a bet, or a game, God got glorified through Job's suffering, and it proves that God is bigger then any we can comprehend. God did what he did for a specific reason, we can't judge that. Well he chose the Israelite as his people, and yes he loves every human the same, but those who choose to go against God, had to pay the consequences of it.

I will not accept the sacrifice of human lives to glorify a certain invisible being. No amount of justification can you defend it as a crime against humanity. God may have done it for a reason, but it was not a good one. Job didn't need to be tested. Job didn't need to lose everything. Job got new wives and even more children than before - yay? The moral is poor. And just listen to yourself - ordinary Egyptians had pretty much no say, yet they were killed. Your God seem to operate on a 'Those who goes against me must die' policy. Even then his loyal followers must be killed so that He can be 'glorified'. If such invisible being is capable of such atrocities with foul morals, then He *is* indeed subjectable to human judgment, a fact which is often overlooked because God (or religious leaders) specifically asked you not to question His judgment in the first place.
OK why would it be foolish to say it is a divine act when you can't explain it? I don't get your logic behind that

Because that would be like saying...
"Why do the Sun rise every morning?" asked a primitive man.
"The mouse!! The mouse caused it!"
Of course, mouse wasn't really responsible for the sun rising every morning. It was because the Earth spins on its own axis and different parts of the world have different times. The primitive man wasn't to know, and sadly, convinced others to believe that mouse was responsible, thus mouse was hailed as the Sun God.
Now, why would it be foolish for that primitive man to say the mouse was responsible when there was something he couldn't explain?
