Hoax is characterized by presenting a lie or a half-truth.
The Italian word superchieria came to Spanish as superchería . This is what a ruse , trap or deception is called.
Completion of a fraud
Deception involves the replacement of something true with a false element . In this way a fraud takes place. For example: "The deception of those who narrate the official history and hide the tragedy of the defeated is outrageous to me" , "Scientists must be in charge of demonstrating the falsity of the deceptions" , "Enough of the deceptions, I want to know what is happening in reality" .
In the first example we are facing a deception because the sender denounces the twisted attitude of those who have in their power the recapitulation of the most important events of our species, such as a war, but they do so by focusing on the victory it represents for their side. and leaving aside the suffering of the opposite. This tactic is used in many areas to prevent the consumer from noticing a negative aspect in the message, so that they receive a lie or, in other words, a partial truth.
The second sentence focuses on another field. Although it does not elaborate in detail the object referred to by the term trickery , it can be interpreted as the activity of people who are dedicated to spiritualism, clairvoyance and cartomancy , among other professions whose authenticity has not yet been proven by science. . Since they can cause so much suffering to those who fall into their trap, the issuer demands that the community of scientists unmask them with irrefutable evidence.
Finally, the word hoaxes refers to lies that, similar to the first example, aim to place a veil over the truth to prevent people from having access to all the available information. We can adjective any attitude of this type negatively, but unfortunately it is more common than the opposite in any area where there are underlying economic and political interests. For example, companies do not tell us the degree of pollution and labor exploitation that sustains them, but rather the benefits of their products.
Priestly trickery
The action carried out by a priest or other religious person when he dedicates himself to preaching to reap praise or obtain some personal gain is called priestly trickery . In these cases, the preacher leaves humility aside and is guided by vanity .
The role of the priest is that of a channel between God and the people. It is true that he must use his imagination to transmit his Father's messages in an entertaining and impactful way, but it is not up to him to create them. He is not the one who brings light to humanity, nor the one who deserves eternal faith. However, since he is the only material person who stands in front of dozens of believers to help them see this light, he can become confused, feel like the center, and thus fall into deceit.
He who engages in priestcraft - an expression that appears in the Book of Mormon - speaks more about himself than about God in his sermons , which he prepares with the intention of showing off as a speaker and promoting entertainment. In this framework, trickery is associated with pride.
If the priest confuses his importance with that of God, he commits deceit.
