Here's another Beliefnet story about Christian Spiritual Warfare. This is an excerpt from a book by Dr. Bobby Welch. The last paragraph is particularly interesting:

Expand: Increase the force-multiplying army. The goal is for each person to become an individual force multiplier. This will significantly increase the war fighting potential in the home, class, and army. This also increases the likelihood of the mission being accomplished. Force multiplying is the vehicle upon which fresh reinforcements will arrive. If the Warrior Leader will develop and equip force multipliers, he will always be victorious in advancing the Great Mission. The mission-vision gives the focus to do just that.

Recruit, recruit, recruit. That is the only real mission of this 'army'- advancing the 'Great Mission'- converting everyone to Christianity. Battling Satan is just a cover story. If such people only stuck to battling Satan, we'd be a lot better off. Unfortunately, everything is now Satanic to the more fanatical, and if you are not 'in' their 'army', you are an enemy, and a target.
