* If it is a scam, then it can be either either malicious or well meant. If it's the malicious work of a ManipulativeBastard who tries to start a [[WindmillCrusader Windmill Crusade]] or ScamReligion by using a GodGuise, he simply needs to be exposed. But the well-meaning kind can be even more devastating. Let's say Bob is a kid who has done something really bad but never told his parents. That Christmas they give him a lot of presents "from Santa". Believing that the presents are really from a Santa Claus who knows everything he has done, he draws the logical conclusion that Santa [[ItGetsWorse approves of his actions]].

* If it is a misunderstanding, it simply needs to be resolved somehow. Lets say Bob thinks he got a vision from an angel who wanted him to do a certain thing. Maybe it was a real angel but he misinterpreted her, or maybe it was merely a dream that he mistook for a divine morality license. In either case, maybe a priest or psychologist can help him with a dose of EpiphanyTherapy?
