Something about Gnosticism seems like a huge middle finger to the humility Christianity importantly teaches. I love the mythology, Sophia, demiurge, yeah them niggas tight Fr fr. But aren’t we supposed to be humble before god and have almost a Socratic epistemology where we don’t claim to know jackshit (the obvious difference is that Christians would ideally go on faith alone, I’m less familiar with Socrates possible beliefs or even “faiths” in metaphysical phenomena. I’ve read the most of the death of Socrates but I don’t think him quoting the Iliad necessarily means he believes in the stuff). Respond?
