Surely there will be a critical turning point where the spell breaks right? Like it gets more absurd for anyone to believe what they are saying every year. These pastors may think they are getting followers now, but what happens when a devout follower discovers it was all a lie? Those pastors are going to be literally ripped limb from limb when people wake up after they are starving.

Or people will starve and give their last bit of bread and to some asshole like this and watch, smiling as they throw it away in disgust. Why would that rich person want some moldy bread from some starving dope? But they will still smile up at him. He gets them. He’s one of the common people. Just like them…
