(A collage from GQ magazine about the manipulation of people's faith). There is a wonderful English comedy called "The Invention of Lying. It's about a world where people don't know what a lie is. And one ordinary guy suddenly invents it, which makes him practically the demiurge of this world. In one scene with his dying mother, the protagonist, in order to support her, invents a world into which she will go after life. He describes it from his considerations of safety and practicality. Only love, happiness, and everyone gets a mansion. The next day, the main character is visited by all the people in town and starts asking questions about the mansion, how big it is and how many bathrooms it has, whether you can smoke and have sex there. He ended up describing this world on two boxes of pizza.

Manipulation inevitably goes hand in hand with faith, releasing responsibility
