This is how conmen think. It doesn't matter how much you lie. The only thing that matters is that it's successful. You can prey upon the gullible and all is good, as long as you get what you want.
Religion has successfully lied to people for a very very long time.
The church will take your money, your free labor and convince you that you have a great reward just waiting for you (after you're dead).
