I don't believe most politicians actually buy into the whole god and satan business... Not everything or everyone in this world is influenced by religion, thankfully. I think some people just like to apply their believes to anything they see in an attempt to explain why things are the way they are.

Thanks, @thatsweeneyguy, I appreciate your visit here, and that you took the time to weigh in with your opinion.
I can understand where you're coming from, and I agree that as humans we often struggle to find patterns and reasons for the puzzling things that we observe.
However, I hope you can also see that humans are vastly influenced by "propaganda," and by ideas that are "picked up" simply by living in a certain area, watching news programs and other media, and being surrounded by other people.
Some of the evil that governments bring about seems to me to transcend simplistic explanation. And in my case you are correct; I believe that the bible presents an accurate view of the world, and it attributes the darkness in the world to the activity of evil creatures and of the human beings that worship them.
Thanks again for your visit!
