at 'Bible Thumper'... I guess I'm one of them.
There are 100's of scriptures which speak of the four corners of the earth (North, East, South, West) as a matter of fact, the use of them is necessary for history; and of each scripture that I'm familiar with, nothing that I recall refers to the south as being satan's domain.
From reading your post, it seems that she may be referring to Psalm 75 and perhaps it was her interpretation of it is what she shared with you.
Here it is.
1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

I can remember as a child, that because the South was such a warm climate, it was often referred to as hell. There were folks who truly believed that.
This may be where your friend is blending her interpretations, as there are some scriptures, especially in Daniel, Ezekiel, Matthew, which
may seem to confirm her interpretation.
When you have a chance, speak with her and ask her to give you 'clarity' on what she means and the scriptures she's basing the Southern theory upon. I'm quite sure that it will clear things up.
I love you, Sweet Coco...
only a little sister of mine can call me a 'Bible Thumper'. I love it.
