If controlling people with lies is not Satanic, what is?
I don't know what is Satanic, but it's not ego-centric politicians and their lieing, spinning, parsing, self-serving ways. Every day politicians make bad decisions, so does the average person. I don't attribute that to Lucifer. But then there are the Hitlers and Mao's and Taliban types of the world. Maybe THEY are influenced by some Devil in the bowels of the planet.
I've been told and read that God gave us free will to choose right from wrong. So every wrong decision and/or lie that our politicians make is Satan taking over that free will? Not buying it. Some people, whether from upbringing or inherent traits or liberal education make bad decisions.
Look deep into your past and ask yourself if you have ever lied or sinned, according to Chistian/Judeo teachings. Was that Satan or just your own bad decisions with your free will? If you haven't you're in good company with a wonderful man some 2000 years ago, and you're going through the "pearly gates".
Disclaimer: I'm an agnostic, but think Christian/Judeo ethics are the best for humanity.
