Why is it always "god"? Why isn't it ever "Satan told me to" or so other shit?

A. There are alleged Satanic murderers, especially during Satanic panics, but also thanks to tortured confessions.

B. Satan lets you make your own decisions. He also gets where you're coming from, so he doesn't judge you.
