When I was a teenager, I went to church, and almost every ‘Christian’ there was a complete asshole. What makes it worse is that they try to justify it. This honestly made me think that if God and Satan were real, I’d want to know Lucifer’s story. Maybe he’s not actually ‘evil.’
Sethian gnosticism. You beheld the demiurge and stopped short before seeing the light of the pleroma. You’re not wrong, but there’s a few more steps on the path yet.
I read the excerpt on Wikipedia and it didn’t seem to fully describe my own experiences, though I expect it doesn’t hold a candle to the depths of the topic. I will have to read more to see if it helps verbalize the feeling I get towards organized religion.
Thank you for this.
You’re getting downvoted but I believe you’re principally correct. Except it’s Sethian.
Yeah thank you for that. Damned autocorrect is a crime against literacy.
