Satan says he's not evil. Just misunderstood. The Devil is present in many forms and can be compared to many mythological gods, but he's arguably best known for his role in Christianity. However, Christianity continues to decline at a rapid pace (at least in the US) so, to stay relevant, Satan is branching out and has been terrorizing people on social media.
A parody Satan's Twitter account had been gaining more and more popularity but at some point, it was taken down from the website, forcing him to move his operations to Instagram, where he continues to deliver sassy insults and clever insights to this day. Continue scrolling to check out his latest posts and when you're done, fire up Bored Panda's earlier article to go through his best tweets.

S8n is actually a project developed by Fallen Media, one of the largest social media networks on the Internet, which aims to tell funny, engaging, and shareable digital stories to build unique campaigns. "We created s8n to voice a persona that we thought would be relatable," Rowan Winch, Chief Marketing Officer & Co-Founder at Fallen Media, told Bored Panda. "Hence the tagline, 'Not evil, just misunderstood.'"
I guess people wouldn't misunderstand Satan so often if he wasn't so cunning. After all, it's commonly thought that the Devil first showed up in the Bible in the book of Genesis as the serpent who convinced Eve—who then convinced Adam—to eat the forbidden fruit from the 'tree of the knowledge' in the Garden of Eden. According to the story, after Eve fell for the Devil's ways, she and Adam were banished from the Garden of Eden and doomed to mortality.
However, Fallen Media wants their character to be less of a manipulating bastard. "We would describe our s8n content as simple yet relatable and funny remarks," they said. "At first, we created Satan a Twitter account but we moved to Instagram due to Twitter suspending our account. We're not entirely sure why the account was suspended but we're looking to work on getting it reinstated." Meanwhile, it looks like Instagram is a lot more welcoming when it comes to the wicked! The account already has over 263K followers and there are no signs of some smug corporates trying to shut it down.
Just like God didn’t spend years studying how to be a doctor and then spend hours in surgery saving your life, so stop crediting him and credit the people who actually put in the time and effort to save your a**e.
Think I may get a lot of hate for this comment. I hope not as just expressing my personal thoughts (ex Catholic; non believer) If I had to choose between having lunch with God or Satan it would be the latter because he seems more straight up. If God were real I take great issue with his hypocrisy and cruelty.
And that's after his dad let him get nailed to a cross and tortured to death. Sounds toxic.

See, I’m a Christian, but I thought this was a funny post.
Same!
Really? What about Eru Ilúvatar?
My Normal-Earth equivalent is a Christian. In Middle-Earth, of course I believe in Eru.
Me too. Imagine if it was a Mohammed parody account. People would be being beheaded in the street.
Yes! Same!
Are you sure you're a real christian, Aragorn? What would Jesus think about you laughing at blasphemous comments and comments endorsing devil worship? Christians should resist the devil and not be ignorant of his lies and decieving of people. Are not at all bothered by how many people here are fooled by hin and actually believe the devil's lies? I feel very sad and concerned about people souls that are lost and deceived.
Aragorn can laugh at what he deems funny.
*Are you not... *fooled by him
Watch or read Good Omens you all. Demons make much more sense
Watch AND read Good Omens!
YES!
Linda Cooper ?
I adore Good Omens. Such a wonderfully bizarre yet oddly touching book. I thought that the series was incredibly well-done.
Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite authors.
I love the show
This Satan account just reminds me of Crowley.
