In 1803, Lebrun published his two-volume Doubs of Infidels, a collection of quotations against Christianity, which was forbidden, and or banned, yet reprinted several times. [1] Lebrun, in this work, as cited by Dorothy Murdock (2009), argued the following: [2]

“The history of Moses is copied from the history of Bacchus, who was called Mises by the Egyptians, instead of Moses. Bacchus was born in Egypt; so was Moses... Bacchus passed through the Red Sea on dry ground; so did Moses. Bacchus was a lawgiver; so was Moses. Bacchus was picked up in a box that floated on the water; so was Moses.... Bacchus by striking a rock made wine gush forth... Bacchus was worshipped...in Egypt, Phenicia, Syria, Arabia, Asia and Greece, before Abraham‘s day.”
