Lies
Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the Lord has declared disaster for you.”
1 Kings 22:23 ESV

The devil wants our guts. He wants us to rot in hell with him. Thankfully, that can only happen with God's permission, the omnibenevolent (all-loving) One.
We see something similar in this verse. God had had enough with evil king Ahab. His days were numbered. If he'd have known the means by which he would die he might have tried to avoid it, but God was going to make sure he did.
Ahab thought to fight his enemies. All his false prophets 'blessed' his doomed plan. Only God's prophet warned him of his own impending demise.
Truth isn't democratic. Let God be true, and all the world a liar. God plus zero even is a majority. We're invincible until the day God had decreed for us to die (unless Christ returns first).
'Lord God Almighty, help us to be governed by You and Your words, not by the shifting sands of popular opinion. In Christ's name, amen'
