Monotheism in a Polytheistic setting?

[Moon_Goddess]

Lothian: "1 Don't worship demons, you lose your soul if you do. 2 Gods may actually be demons who pretend to be gods. 3 I know I am not a demon. 4 Therefore I'm the only god I can vouch your soul will be safe with. 5 I have a duty to protect human souls from being devoured by demons." This is not really an argument for a worshipper to move to Lothian as the worshipper cannot verify Lothian's point 3. It is an argument for Lothian to want to have people worship him exclusively.

Ok, now I've so got to come up with a setting with a God that holds this philosophy and in fact is the only god who is a demon somehow but doesn't know it himself.

Thanks' for the inspiration

Godslayer--I have slain the last of the false Gods! Now I am the one true God!

DemonLord--Have you now? Is that what you believe?

Godslayer--Question me do you Fiend, well my mighty sword has tasted the Blood of those who claimed to be divine, it shall not balk at yours!

DemonLord--Oh, but you see...we share the same Blood...brother!

Godslayer--NOO!!!!

Hmm, I can dig it.
