gnosticism is a catch all phrase for a whole bunch of different belief systems that shared some common elements. sone other cultures who came in contact with the judaic religion saw yahweh as a psycho, murderous, angry, jealous dictator and concluded he was evil. rightly so.  i agree that the demiurge did nothing wrong.... at least in the apocryphon of john. sophia decides she wants to have a baby without her partner, pops out the monster (demiurge) and abandons him in the abyss? she gets forgiven later, but the demiurge is somehow punished for eternity for being born of a single mother? the supposed all loving god can't pop in and snap his celestial fingers and heal the demiurge into divine wholeness and bring all existence into harmony? yeah, just another theistic cope where they can't explain the nature of existence with their sky daddies. back to sophia... they venerate her as divine and holding wisdom? fucking crazy. no, it is better metaphor for not keeping women on a leash and not letting them decide how they are going to reproduce. dumb cunt. and the christcucks are already starting to kvetch in this thread, but they won't tell you historical facts because they know nothing about their history. the first gospel and the biggest early church was marcion's... which was very "gnostic" in its belief system. valentinianism was, to and valentinus was nearly one of the first bishops in rome. the current christianity was not the common belief system of early christians.
