With God as the Chief Commandant. I got this idea while kibbitzing with LG regarding the different lives of souls. I find it fun to come up with alternate scenarios that also have no proof.
What if Earth is, unbeknownst to humans, actually a Concentration Camp for souls? A place where rehabilitation and reformation are the main reasons that souls are vanquished here.
If so then technically all humans are living protoplasm containing the essence of severely misguided souls that once existed somewhere else. When you think about isolating those souls and limiting their contact with other outposts in the universe then Earth is quite an adequate location, far enough away. For example, laws of physics prevent faster than light travel which kind of limits our ability to contact other 'civilizations'.
For some reason, souls that end up here are subject to reprogramming. Did something happen in Soul Land that made this necessary? Was there a war after which the victors began the process of retooling the losers? How convenient is it for souls behaving badly that they are tossed into flaming lakes? Sounds somewhat familiar to some historical sites on Earth. It's more or less do well or say good night.
Your soul, whether you like it or not, is a political prisoner on this planet. You either reform or burn. Pledging allegiance to the Commandant is the first step towards an eternal life where souls worship their conquerors.
