I love this quote from the church father Irenaeus. Things have not changed at all in the centuries since he wrote this.
“Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in attractive dress, as as, by its outward form, to appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than the truth itself.” (Against Heresies 1.2)
