Can you think of any area where he hasn't? It IS curious that what you call "fluff" was actual Scripture verses that addressed the very question of the presence and purposes of the devil. I don't remember if you're one of the ones that believes Satan was and still is "bound" and unable to work his evil schemes in the world today, If so, then I would direct you to those verses that very clearly state Satan is active in the world and what his designs entail. He is the "enemy of our souls, the accuser of the brethren. In Acts 13, Paul is addressing a sorcerer named Barjesus who was trying to turn a person away from the truth of Jesus Christ, he tells him, "And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" This is the plan of Satan, to pervert the truth, to lead souls away from the truth and there is not one area that he has not tried to infiltrate. To be blind to this, is to allow his stealthy ways and false message to seep in, polluting the simplicity that is in Christ.
Satan is hardly bound today. He has:
1. A regular system of evangelists, preachers and apostles.
2. These Satanic evangelists preach a gospel.
3. He has a system of doctrine.
4. He has a communion table.
5. He has a counterfeit righteousness.
6. He has counterfeit power, signs, and wonders.
7. He has a counterfeit Christ.
8. He has a counterfeit Spirituality.
And it's all for one reason: to obscure the truth of 2 Cor. 4:3-4.

I am not as imaginative as satan, but I was looking for Scriptural support of that statement. As is the case over the few hundred posts, asking for Scriptural support for positions and finding out what Protestant practices actually are, I find that the level of disingenous has risen considerably.
I make the statement that Protestants mouth the phrase regarding every knee shall bow and find that they don't actually do it. When called on it, we have the several hundred posts full of indignation and some Scripture which does not address the actual practices of the Protestants in question.
It is sad to have one's suspicions confirmed to such a great level of concurrence by those folks who spend so much effort to try to deny it.
The divergence from Christianity, largely tied to the results of the Reformation, have resulted in entire groups who are actually no more Christian than a tribe of Tagalog or a colony of meerkats, but who claim the title of being more Christian than any other group.
