What does /pol/ think of Gnosticism?
Hidden truth?
Or tinfoil theory for edgelords?
It's basically the world's most prominent religion in mordenity.
Satan loves it.

What makes you say that?

Literally obscure as fuck

he's saying that atheism is basically gnosticism because it values objective knowledge without any imagination over spirituality.
>>55573926
Salvation through knowledge is the implicit structural force behind illuminism, scientism, revolutionary thinking, new age, liberalism... it's basically christianism without christ.
>>55574129
I don't think it is fair to say that. Just because Gnosticism and Atheism kinda agree on something doesn't make them alike Christfags like to use Gnosticism as a boogeyman for all their problems. See the term 'secular Gnosticism'
>>55574327
We say that atheism, secularism and all these internal enemies of christendom are blind.
The truth behind these doctrines is essentialy gnostic, they are historically linked to gnostic sects, but they will never profess that.
>>55574518
Christianity is stupid and overwhelmingly liberal
>>55574548
"liberal" or "conservative" doesn't make sense when we are talking about reality
>>55574518
>The truth behind these doctrines is essentially gnostic, they are historically linked to gnostic sects,
How can you prove it? All that is known about Gnosticism comes through the mouths of christian priests who hated these heretics. Hardly reliable
>>55574723
Study what gnosticism is and then look at the world around you. I will not force you to believe me, see by yourself.
We are all inside a gnostic culture, modern science and modern democracy is gnostic from its roots.
>>55574548
Christianity is liberal to the fact that anyone can convert to be a Christian but thats as far as it goes .
for example if a gay man says hes a Christian he is still a sinner. We are all sinners and the only way to be saved is through Jesus, we should all strive to be like him and follow Gods rules, to do that we would have to be perfect. however no one is perfect only Jesus is perfect thats why we need him, otherwise be damned to hell.
Become a discordian and use chaos magic to defeat this shit.

your interpretation of christianity sees it as homophobic, it's the exact opposite. a catholic invented the term "social justice" for christ sake. christianity believes in the universal brotherhood of humanity, it is liberal
>>55574983
Uh..yes, we are all sinners, and Jesus himself said people can be saved through faith on him.
That's a simple truth, not a political/scientific position.
>>55574982
I already did. The world we live in is not gnostic at all. If anything its influence has waned over the recent years even with the discovery of the Nag Hammbi library.
The gnostic culture you speak of is more greek/pagan culture than anything else
>>55575493
Modern paganism is gnostic too.
All those things were born from inside the christianism.
You are confusing what they say and what they do.
When you study these things you have to be extremelly connected with reality, because they are not.
Don't talk about Gnosis on a profane site like this. The knowledge is meant only for private study
>>55574982
>We are all inside a gnostic culture
Popular culture encourages people to love the material world though.

Materialism cannot exist in reality, because just like atheism, it's blind faith and doesn't make sense at all. You can only say you are materialist, but you will end up doing somehting else.
This "words make reality" stuff is some of the most visible gnostic errors we can see everywhere nowadays.
>>55575674
Gnosticism was never born within christianism, it was two distinct movements. Also gnosticism is anything but materialism.
Besides why are you so quick to blame gnosticism for the failings of Christianity?
>>55576834
Gnosticism in western world was born from christianism.
I didn't say gnosticism is materialist, I said people who say they are materialist end up being gnostic.
Christianism didn't "fail", we're talking about reality not politics, god damn.
>>55573309
Antichrist garbage. Nothing but frauds, and forgeries, and heresies.
>>55573309
newer gnosticism
>>55577055
>god damn
Tsk, tsk.
>>55575459
Yep if you use a computer you're partaking in it. The Internet is satanic gnostic invention
They got it backwards, the Demiurge ftw.
>>55574982
Except gnosticism is spiritual while atheism/nihilism/theworldaroundme is materialistic.
>>55574723
We have some of their holy books from the Nag Hammadi Collection.
The Gnostic must have thought highly of Plato and Hermes Trismegistus since they had a copy of Herme's book and Plato's Republic in their library.

You have yet to answer my question and your posts have riddled with implications after implications
