poop

No. Stop spreading disinfo about one of the only pure things we actually have in this god forsaken fucking pit

Idk man that image has weird vibes. Also I don't get why gnostics think the world is evil when it clearly contains both good and bad

Porn is to blame

>>18639924
Because the world being evil explains why their axe wound stinks of shit and needs to be regularly dilated.

>>18639924
Bc it's their internal wishful fantasy, they don't actually care what actual gnostic or neoplatonist philosophers thought

>>18639924
Christianity is a DEATH CULT. It always has been. Ascetic scribblers gets fussy about sex and end up hating the world when they think too hard about it, so they invent cults of Armageddon and doom. The afterlife is all that is beautiful, so much so that it’s unfathomable. The later church fathers versions aren’t any different from the original Gnostic

>>18639954
You can be Christian and love the world because it's God's creation can you not?

>is gnosticism responsible for PUA incels
>is gnosticism responsible for AGP
>is gnosticism responsible for social distancing

>>18639883
How the fuck do you figure that?

>>18639924
Evil is mixed in with Light. This is a core Manichaean doctrine.

based gnosticism hate thread. we've been having gnosticism hate threads on /x/ for the last couple weeks and its based.

should i celebrate christmas if i am not christian ot commited to furthering christian ideals?

>>18639965
Yeah, sure. A pretty anteroom is how the “knowing” christian treats it though. Wouldn’t want to encourage any suicides. Much too valuable to the state. Point it the afterlife, sitting on a cloud genuflecting to papa for eternity, is paradise. Earthly delights are full of sin and will be done away with there. No marriage means no sex.

>>18639996
>Wouldn’t want to encourage any suicides. Much too valuable to the state
You ignore the countless martyrs.
Christianity is life-affirming by the way. Stop spreading catch phrases that you dont understand.

>>18639996
I am thinking you are a bit biased against Christians lol

>>18640002
How is Christianity life-affirming if the world is the dominion of Satan? Isn't what you're affirming at that point an acosmic spark? Just admit it.

>>18639973
Gnostic philosophy convinces trannies that their soul is female even if their body is male.
Much of the wider degeneracy of contemporary culture can be traced to gnostic materialism, hedonism and relativism. Pretending that the world is inherently evil whatever we do provides the perfect justification for deviancy.

>>18640017
>gnostic materialism
How much are they paying you?

>>18640002
No, I don’t. That was early Christianity, “Gnostics” happy to die. Later Christianity, when they had the Roman Empire by the balls served the flocks back to the state. Suicide was a sin.

>>18640007
Very much so. No secret about it.

>>18640017
You are fucking retarded.

>>18640017
ANY spirituality opens the floodgate to that train of thought. Schizophrenia is schizophrenia

>>18640022
Do you hate all religion or just christianity? Most people believe in heaven or reincarnation or nirvana or whatever it's not like Christians are the only people that say there is more than this life

>>18640002
>Christianity is life-affirming by the way
Christians all over the world support Israel because they think the Jews' return to the Holy Land will bring forth Armageddon and the second coming of Christ. "Support Israel" is the single biggest international policy of the biggest superpower in the world because Christians just can't wait to die and get carried into Heaven by Jesus.

>>18640054
Do you really think US support for le greatest ally is because of fucking apocalyptic Christians? This is the most boomer thing I have seen in ages

>>18640052
I am antitheist. Out of love I oppose these cults.

Hermeticism is far superior

>>18640022
>That was early Christianity, “Gnostics” happy to die
Early Christian martyrs were not gnostics.
Use a trip so I can filter you from future discussion.

still no mention of zoroastrianism i see...

>>18640084
Lmao no, theurgy and hermeticism were in bed with the globohomo romans and Iamblichus was a seething cuck, how gnosticism ever got lumped in with the establishment is beyond me.

>>18640079
Why are posting dante alongside that statement?

This board could be summed up to something like..

"I'M MAD, I'M MAD ABOUT TRANNIES" HERE IS MY EIGHT PAGE DISCOURSE ON WHY THEY ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH..."

Nigger, your life is fleeting before your eyes. Do you REALLY want to waste it on this shit?

Christ, go for a walk or something. You can escape this digital hell hole.

>>18640103
Lmao nvm

>>18640099
It's because they both end with "icism" probably. I'm not even fucking kidding.

>>18640103
Gustave Dore.
And are you blind, man?

>>18639883
Damn gnostics and their centralized banking

No, it's the result of the severing of consciousness from the world, and the consequent evacuation of all meaning from the idea of truth as correspondence to reality. Blame Kant.

>>18640122
It's dante and virgil looking at heaven I'm pretty sure

>>18640408
It’s an etching by Gustave Dore of Dante and Virgil looking at Max Stirner

>>18639911
>pure
Hahahaha, "pure"? I've never seen something more deliberately nihilistic and subversive than Gnosticism. If you can't see how Hollywood has a clear agenda involving pushing Gnostic themes as hard on the masses as possible then you're not any different from the "hylics".

>>18640452
What movies? Apart from The Matrix obviously

>>18640452
>>18639954

>WAAAAAHHH THE WORLD IS EVIL BECAUSE IM NOT LE CUTE GRILL!!
This is supposed to be a serious religion?

>>18640452
>deliberately nihilistic
>gnosticism

I dont advocate for gnosticism or know hardly anything about it but this seems just plain wrong. Like. If you believe in something like the demiurge, you by definition cant be a nihilist, right? You're just saying words but you dont mean anything by them

Why is this thread still up? Is janny taking an off day?

>>18640452
You are ignorant.

>>18640593
Who are you quoting?

>noooo you can't believe the world is evil you have to believe god loved you so much he put you here and gave you the freedom to chose eternal hell instead of him
Christcope/10 gnostics only lost historically because the Roman empire wasn't having none of that anarchist shit.

Based. Too long has the childish hubris of the gnostic schizos been condescendingly ignored.

>>18640787
>reads Augustine once

>>18640806
There's that classic gnostic wit!
