Amazing. Early Christian Literature.

Justin Martyr was a Greek Christian who spoke to the Greek Non-Christians about the utter foolishness of their idolatry.  Here he speaks of the origin of idolatry and the foolish notion that man can make a god by created things, 
"For it was not just that they who did not keep the first commandment [Genesis 2:16-17  And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  17.  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.], which it was easy to keep, should any longer be taught, but should rather be driven to just punishment. Being therefore banished from Paradise [Genesis 3:24  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.], and thinking that they were expelled on account of their disobedience only, not knowing that it was also because they had believed in the existence of gods which did not exist, they gave the name of gods even to the men who were afterwards born of themselves. This first false fancy, therefore, concerning gods, had its origin with the father of lies. God, therefore, knowing that the false opinion about the plurality of gods was burdening the soul of man like some disease, and wishing to remove and eradicate it, appeared first to Moses, and said to him, "I am He who is." For it was necessary, I think, that he who was to be the ruler and leader of the Hebrew people should first of all know the living God. Wherefore, having appeared to him first, as it was possible for God to appear to a man, He said to him, "I am He who is; "then, being about to send him to the Hebrews, He further orders him to say, "He who is hath sent me to you."
