Satan's Soldier?

There is an episode of Paranormal State called 'Satan's Soldier'.  The client supposedly worshiped Satan for decades; in exchange for bringing people, souls, to Satan, this guy apparently received his heart's desire.

I find the client's admission laughable.  If the devil really gave him all he wanted  - money, women, drugs - in exchange for bringing others to the devil, then why is the guy living in that crappy old house?  He does not look prosperous at all.  Then again, he no longer worships Satan.  Perhaps that is why he looks rather poor.



You would think that, if Satan actually existed and rewarded his followers with their hearts' desires, all those that claim to worship him would be the richest, most attractive, powerful, and hedonistic people on earth.  In my mind, there is no Satan just as there is no God.  Rules have always been enforced by those who wish to be in control, and what better way to control people than through religion?  (The Roman Catholic Church is one of the most powerful - and wealthiest - organizations in the world.)

I firmly believe that more people would worship the devil if they truly believed that he could give them what they want so desperately.  I know of at least one person who would so it in a New York minute, and there are undoubtedly others who would - for fame, for fortune, for sex, for power...the list goes on and on.


At any rate, the former Soldier of Satan is now being terrorized by the devil  (or was at the time of the taping of this episode).  Of course, now that he's a Christian again, after having had his fill of sex, drugs, and money, he wants viewers of Paranormal State to believe that he is now just a regular joe, eager to live out the rest of his life as a devout Jesus Freak.  

And maybe he is.  As far as I am concerned...Satan = Santa!
