Satan is to blame for giving humans temptations but it is their fault for giving into those temptations. There is an excellent example even back in the biblical times: the Garden of Eden story.

The cover page of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina looked very evil. It was filled with dark reds, yellows, and blacks which never mean that this is intended to be a happy book. The novel was completely different than the spinoff television show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch because the creators had it tie into the Salem witch trials. Throughout the whole…
