Time's newest cover, featuring a silhouette of Hillary Clinton on Thursday, caused a stir among some who felt that it appeared to portray her with devil horns.

Clinton is currently embroiled in a controversy over her use of a private email address for her official correspondence during her time as secretary of state.

Time acknowledged its systemic work to figuratively demonize the people on its covers. In a post entitled "34 TIME Magazine Covers That Appeared to Give People Horns," the magazine provides distinct and incontrovertible evidence of its pro-Satan editorial stance.

Those who have received the horns include religious figures -- most notably numerous popes, Hillary's husband and former president Bill Clinton, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, Angelina Jolie and even Jesus.

The magazine has claimed that the "m" in "Time" means that people on the cover are inevitably end up with horns. "Any resemblance to cats, bats or devil horns is entirely coincidental," the post stated.

We at Mashable think the evidence speaks for itself: Time is either a Satan-worshipping cabal or a bunch of journalists with a dark sense of humor. Or both.

After all, this is the magazine that once famously asked "Is God Dead?"
