Um, Khem. The fucktards tried that. It's called "diabolical mimicry."
I've always found it amusing that early xtians would be so upset by the idea that their bullshit story was so similar to the various other cults then going around that they would invent this idea that demons would preempt their "god" by getting the story out first. Apparently they failed to realize that this made the "demons" smarter than their fucking god!
But when people are desperate they say all sorts of silly shit. We've all see it from the apologetics crowd often enough.
Quote:But those who hand down the myths which the poets have made, adduce no proof to the youths who learn them; and we proceed to demonstrate that they have been uttered by the influence of the wicked demons, to deceive and lead astray the human race. For having heard it proclaimed through the prophets that the Christ was to come, and that the ungodly among men were to be punished by fire, they put forward many to be called sons of Jupiter, under the impression that they would be able to produce in men the idea that the things which were said with regard to Christ were mere marvellous tales, like the things which were said by the poets.
