3 Nephi 2:2


Imagining up some vain thing in their hearts, that it was wrought by men and by the power of the devil, to lead away and deceive the hearts of the people; and thus did Satan get possession of the hearts of the people again, insomuch that he did blind their eyes and lead them away to believe that the doctrine of Christ was a foolish and a vain thing.

Deception turns the truth upside down. Satan would have us believe that the truth is a deception, and that his deception is the truth. He is not so much interested in getting us to believe his bold-faced lies  as he is in getting us to simply question God's truth and relinquish our commitment to it.
