IN THIS EPISODE: The horror entertainment industry would make you think that Satan is everywhere, controlling world leaders, possessing church pastors, inhabiting the bodies of kids who play with Ouija boards, even somehow controlling your children\u2019s dolls or other toys\u2026 all in the name of the Lord Lucifer. Ironically, Satan is only mentioned a handful of times in the bible, despite what you\u2019ve been led to believe by Hollywood. The image of Satan we typically envision is actually not from the bible at all, but from a poem. Most Satanists, despite the clever name, don\u2019t openly worship the devil. And while I do believe in Satan and the danger he poses \u2013 I believe we are giving him way too much credit for some things \u2013 especially some of the conspiracy theories people believe, or blaming him for when we do bad things, (i.e., \u201cthe devil made me do it!\u201d). That being said, there are some areas that you have to wonder if perhaps he truly did place his crooked finger upon in order to insert his evil influence. What does Satan look like? What\u2019s the meaning of 666? Do people really kill in the name of Satan? Are some places or objects somehow under a Satanic influence? We have a lot to cover.
