It easily goes up into the millions, counting that grand fiasco Roland led that killed half a million in one night. Satan didn't need to do anything, God caused enough problems on his own with his bad planning. I'd expect such incompetence from people, but not from an omniscient (supposedly) God. Makes you think He really doesn't care about humanity, if he's willing to let millions die for some obscure goal. Sad, it really is. This theory does paint the LOS God in a more Utilitarian light. That's one of the things I like about MercurySteam: They can raise these interesting questions and ideas about the source material they use without smacking people in the face with it.

That said, the only thing I don't like about my theory is that it makes the drama of the Belmonts vs Dracula completely pointless. If God needs Dracula to kill Satan, there's no way the Belmonts can succeed.
