Here's my working definition of Gnosticism from reading the source texts:

Gnosticism (noun):
The imposition of human philosophy above the Word of God, leading to an emphasis on knowledge and reason over Faith. This inevitably results in the creation of artificial religions, fake religions, which twist Christianity's true message.

With today's installment in the Evaluating Gnosticism series, I really could have gone with "silly goofballs trying to get Christians believing in cringey stuff." Would have gotten the same point across.
