The Catholic Church murdered over a million Gnostics to silence their voices, and now conveniently brays that they were anathema and claims the right to portray their teachings.

"Murdered over a million Gnostics..." An interesting statistic. You have a source for that?

Of course, why worry about whether the Gnostics didn't represent Christ's teachings, when Catholics also believe Protestants are going to hell for not representing Christ's teachings?

No, we don't.

Not to mention Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists, Zoroastrians, Jews, Muslims and every other human being who didn't raise their eyes to God within a Catholic Church.

No, we don't.

It's your hubris - it's an iron chain wrapped around your soul. You point to a book to deny the human experiences of Christ by millions, of not billions of people throughout the entirety of human history. As if Christ could possibly be limited - in any way - by your proclamations and murders!

You are a very angry person...

That's why I stand with the Gnostics

Very flimsy reasons all.

Dude, if you want to be a member of a mystery religion and drink from the fountains of pseudomysticism and esoteria, be my guest. It is your choice! Just don't call it "Christianity."

Also, lay off the anger, which ultimately derives from your deep-seated fears. As St. Yoda the Wise once said: “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” You already hate. Aren't you suffering already?

Bumper sticker aversions, Star Wars saints, personal slander and a denial of knowledge of the Cathars.

Begone, sophmore.
