So one of the secrets of fooling people is to get them looking at something other than what's really going on. It's a tactic employed by someone with far more sinister intentions than some magician or illusionist - this misdirection ploy is being used to keep a lot of people from going to heaven. Maybe you, or someone you love.
We have renounced disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame); we refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of God, but we state the truth openly (clearly and candidly). And so we commend ourselves in the sight and presence of God to every man's conscience. - 2 Corinthians 4:2
