I remember when the satanists held the black mass and they had gotten a wafer from a church in Belgium or somewhere and the local protesters insisted that despite proof to the contrary the wafer had been stolen because that's what the ritual called for.

Then they get confused.
Does that mean an invisible God or that He can't see us?
