The following paragraphs are my emailed response to what Scott Tribble had to say about one particular member of Creed at his website http://www.stribble.com/writings/creed.html .  If you read what he has written I think it should dishearten you considering how most Creed listener's feel about their music.  I asked him to retract what he said and it should make him feel quite like a troglogdyte if others did the same.  His email is at the above cited link, so let him know he is a fool.

As a Harvard Grad (as you claim) are REALLY serious when you say Scott Stapp is Satan?  How can you be so sure he is SATAN?  And if so, are the rest of Creed band members fallen angels as well?  Why, if Scott Stapp is Satan, who will deceive the whole world into giving him allegiance, you MUST know the identity of the Anti-Christ (Case #3).  How is it that more than one of your quotes come from "unofficial Scott Stapp Homepages"?  Don't tell me a Harvard Grad is quoting some 15 year old girl who has Scott Stapp posters wallpapering her bedroom and has her own Scott Stapp homepage for all her classmates to chat on?

In addition, why is it that only you, Scott Stribble has access to this crucial information?  Why haven't other industry rags written about the Satanic Scott Stapp or is this the exclusive story of Scott Stribble?  I suppose your explanation for his WAWO Foundation would be the luring of more children into his lair.  "The Foundation's intent is to raise public awareness of the importance of healthy parent-child relationships in whatever form they may arise; to provide encouraging support and education to parents; and to identify and address problematic areas that impede the development and/or maintenance of healthy, loving, nurturing parent-child relationships."  I find it hard to believe that Satan would have the time to endeavor in philanthropy.   He should be too busy writing spriritual lyrics too deceive all of humanity into eternal damnation.

You either are quite disappointed with your own failings at music (despite all the purchases of musical instruments); OR you were passed up in the bid for designing Creed's web site(s) only to see Three Mountain (also coincidently in Chicago) win the bid; OR you are just an idiot who got into Harvard on daddy's fat wallet. 

You should take care in what you write and post to the internet.  The internet, for whatever reason it was invented, can only be protected by its users in the of writing words that are edifying and not defaming.  Only the users of the internet can truly keep it an avenue of good information. 
Unless you have proof that Scott Stapp is Satan you should retract what you wrote.  There are a lot of young people out there that may choose a path of non-destruction based on the words they hear from Scott Stapp and his friends.  They are reaching a lot of people in a positive way and I don't see how that is Satanic.

By the way, Satan had a disastrous car accident recently.  Why would he do that to himself?
