That -is- what the intelligentsia said when they first heard of the demi-god and his religion. Or, at least, that's what the earliest known mention of the faith ends with, and what educated pagan romans continued to argue for centuries. Christians spent the next few arguing against that, lol. Had a single emperor not been assassinated by his own men that debate would have ended, but history took a turn. Then they had to have that argument again, every time they expanded into new territory.
