You guys... jesus...... I mean, .....you guys....
Does anyone find it interesting that 'Pan,' the little horned flute playing character from Wiccan idology is so similar to the Christian's depiction of the Devil?
Why is that?
The way I see it, about the time that the Christian religion was invented, all other religions were, by the intent of the Christians, doomed to be snuffed out. One of the methods the Christians used to persecute and thus attempt to invalidate all other religions was their persecution of the long standing Wicca, which is largely a nature-based religion. Their depiction of the devil is an intentional distortion of Wicca's Pan.
Christianity has had a long and profitable career of persecution.
