You make some valid points.

However, I've come to realize that their so-called god isn't the father of lies. What I've observed is that the reason they've managed to put so many people under their spell isn't because they're lying—it's because they're using the truth to deceive.

The most effective way to control people isn't through lies, as lies can be uncovered over time. Instead, the best way to manipulate people is by distorting the truth—either by exaggerating or downplaying it.

This is how those with bad intentions manage to get away with their actions. They present the truth, but by either amplifying or minimizing the facts, they mislead others.
