Accepting Deception

From the Delta Enduring Tarot, the Hierophant; from the Southernisms Oracle, "You could throw yourself on the ground and miss:"

The easiest thing of all is to deceive one's self; for what a man wishes he generally believes to be true.

―Demosthenes

Churches offer folks community and traditions if they accept and abide by their philosophy. But their leaders are human and prone to preach one view and live another. There are also a few who steal from the poor and line their own pockets - selling 'miraculous' prayer cloths and oils. The "You could throw yourself on the ground and miss" card indicates a situation where common sense is being overruled by desire or desperation. Before signing on and molding one's life around someone else's rules, step back and look at things with an objective eye.
