@unliver@Hyolobrika@ai@errante In general I treat people whom have weak wills gracefully; but with Gnosticism I begin to wonder if weakness is the worst possible sin. It is such a terrible tragedy to let suffering make you give up on life. I cannot fathom it really. I have suffered more than anyone I know and yet life is so unfathomably unbearably beautiful and vibrant, and to have seen the darkest possible places only makes it moreso. I wish I could grab everyone by the shoulders and make them see what I see.
@unliver@Hyolobrika@ai@errante Yeah I don't care about heresy or scripture or whatever pee pee poo poo but rejecting the material world is the worst possible thing anyone can do and is the most evil and suicidal path imaginable
@hidden@Hyolobrika@ai@errante I don't hate the idea of gnosticism, or individual knowledge of God, divorced from like, the tradition of sethianism, but rejection of the material world is so stupid in every one of its manifestations. Nietzsche is really annoying in a lot of ways but he was so right about this
