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.

Demons don't control anything, bad people are real and they need to stop playing the blame game. Historically that excuse was just used to genocide people like Pagans so the church could have plausible deniability when they wanted to expand control over land. However all religions have done this to each other at some point.

Look up crucified saviors other than Jesus and you'll find similarities between all religions.

No one is correct or wrong.

@SatanBurger I've read many many different religions. The Scientologists will be the religious terrorists in about 100 years time lol and Islam will be a peaceful established religion.

@KaiserSolze That's a high possibility because that is how it really goes historically. It's weird lol. During modern day Africa they still have left over witch hunts from Christianity and the Middle East, at least the way the extremists ran it is a lot like the biblical period.

In years time I'm sure it will be another.
