Because he also likes torture
It's because Satan still likes all the stuff God likes, he just got kicked out.
So he's got like, a super fucked up punisher/batman thing going on where he fails to acknowledge his own faults but sees all the sinners arriving in hell as deplorable, and deserving punishment.
This is so terribly wholesome!
Satan accepts us for who we are and doesn’t judge us for the things we’ve done in life.
He loves all the murders, rapists, torturers, pedophiles, etc. for who they are, because that's who he is. It's a great big ol' party of everyone doing what they want, including Satan, so, yeah, you might get tortured or raped here and there but hey at least it's all inclusive
He gets us
Wasn't Satan working for God?
Like he got chucked out of heaven but God still asked him to test his son for 40 days and 40 nights. I always thought he was working for God, his job was to test people as asked by God.
God's the fucked up one. Think the devil killed like 4 people in the bible and God killed millions.
I always figured in the story that really, since the adversary was the first one banished, he would probably not be so much occupied with the torture of others. Probably be like, "Welcome to the Shit Show." Assuming you even ran into him. Place is probably pretty full by now.
The Christian Hell mythology is contradictory because it's almost entirely fanfiction, and a much more modern fanfiction than you'd think, particularly in regards to Satan's role.
The long and short of it is that, if you assume the Bible is an authority on such things, Hell isn't this major thing where most people end up because they didn't believe correctly, it's not a physical thing at all, much less a thing populated by torturing demons, and Satan wouldn't be in charge, or the Warden, or anything like that. He'd be a prisoner too.
Even in Inferno, Dante depicts him as imprisoned in ice.
If I remember correctly, the book itself refers to a lake of fire, talks of people going somewhere devoid of God's love, and that's just it. It's absolutely bonkers what Dante's Inferno did to Christian lore.
I'm not a Christian, personally, so it's just an oddity to me.
I always find amusing the idea that Christianity started up as fiction and someone went and just straight up set it up as an MLM and people have been running it to this day without being sure how it even started or why but reaping the benefits anyways
If I told my toddler to do this and that, and then had a laugh hating on her for doing it exactly right -- that'd be pretty evil parenting, I suppose.
stabs Satan in the back
"What? Murderer gonna murder. 🤷🏻♂️"

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
