Resurrection in History
#11
RE: Resurrection in History
The term is "diabolical mimicry," Dolorian. The notion that "the devil" was so smart that he one-upped god! Xtians make their boy look like an asshole at times.

Quote:Essentially, these early Christian apologist were saying "So what, our religions looks similar to your religions, but we did not copy from you. The devil mimicked our religion in your religion in anticipation of the advent of our religion". This was the standard excuse given then by the apologist, which has not changed in 2000 years of the evolution of Christianity.


Tertullian and Justin Martyr are specifically mentioned.
