When the gods cease to be miraculous, when people become deeply disappointed with the deities they worship, they will shift all the blame to the gods and vent their anger upon them.
If the gods people pray to are merely non-existent or imaginary, the only way for people to vent their anger is to destroy the temples and statues of the gods. However, if the "god" or "messenger of god" they worship and pray to is a living human, people's resentment and anger will descend upon this person.
Lin Tian sees clearly into the human heart; when people's prayers go unanswered, they become resentful and angry. When this resentment and anger accumulate to a certain degree, it will erupt, especially when the fury comes from a large collective.
