Who controls the world? [Spirituality & Religion]

I just had a Jehova Witness leaflet. It said Satan/Bal/the Devil/Cunnunis (the God of Fire, passion, anger, lust) whatever you want to call him) controls the world. Not Jehova/El/"God"/(the God of Air or the sky, positive action etc).

This actually makes some sense. I always read their leaflets but this one sort of makes sense.

Which leaves me wondering if as Christianity would have you believe their God created "the devil" and cast him out why does he allow him to control earth? If he's more powerful then why let him, why not just stop him? Why send a religion of followers? Devil worshippers don't knock on my door or Pagans or Buddhists. We don't see Hindus trying to convert people. Only Christians and Muslims and Scientologists seem to do this. Doesn't make sense.

The Zorastrians started the idea of good vs. evil. They pushed the ideas of angels and demons. It's about 3500 years old and is dying out. I actually think it's time to create a new philosophy. A modern one based on love and the fact that everything in the universe is just the same concentrated energy.
