well satanism has really invaded the country. 'do what you want' and talk prospering financially but not serving god has really got into churches. especially black churches.
i'm not sure about satan being the ruler of earth. if there is a satan he doesnt have to do anything for bad people to be evil. seems like a scapegoat.
Satan spoke to Jesus in Matthew 4:8-9 at the temptation in the wilderness where he asked "Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, 'all these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me'"
God considered it wise, as part of his curse on the world after the fall of man, to give Satan power in this world. Satan rules by permission as it is part of His plan as we humans undergo our trial on Earth.
