What is the functional difference between gnosticism and satanism?Is it just the names? (Picture unrelated)
>>18771796Talmud jew religion is satanism, but they created fake satanism to distract attention from their real satanism. Salvation in Christ for the children of God is not Gnosticism.
>>18771796Gnostics are infinitely more pussified than Satanists
>>18772074Okay now replace the backdrop with dying babies.
>>18772076Suffering doesn't make life any less beautiful, in fact life wouldn't be beautiful without suffering. Everything is defined by contrast.
>>18772079TSMT, if that child didn't get raped how could it appreciate the beauty of life?
>>18772079>in fact life wouldn't be beautiful without sufferingYeah, the Archons got you.
>>18772129>>18772141If life was non-stop joy there wouldn't be anything joyful about it because joy would be the baseline
Gnosticism was the original Christianity before Jews reframed it to fit their narrative, it doesn't fit btw, as Jesus and the demiurge yahweh have little in common and when Jesus said my father he meant the hidden uncorrupted God not the evil demiurge yahweh.
>>18772229If god can’t give us free will without making us capable of doing evil, then he is not omnipotent
>>18772236My argument has nothing to do with free will. It's about experience being defined by contrast. If you and everyone else were constantly angry and never knew what it was like not to be angry, then the word "angry" would cease to mean anything. Same goes with joy. You need suffering because, without it, there's no potential for joy.

>>18771796Gnosticism is what you get when you are actually a platonist who assumes an infinite and infinitely good god and then you try to believe in the bible anyway.Satanism is when you don't believe any of that stuff but want to be in a social club formed around upsetting evangelicals for forcing you to learn about noah's ark in science class. The functional difference is that gnostics actuallynhave religious beliefs but do nothing with them, while satanists have political beliefs they pretend are religious.
>>18772279If Gnostics actually followed their religious beliefs to its logical conclusion they'd all commit collective suicide. Just look at all the whiners ITT
>>18772283The Cathars pretty much did.
>>18772283Most contemporary gnostics online seem to have taken the long way around the barn and reinvented buddhism with the addition of an evil god antagonist. He'll just keep you trapped in his reincarnation prison if you die before you are spiritually equipped to ascend. Historically not all demiurgic beliefs were christian nor were the demiurges they envisioned evil. The type on /x/ are basically sethian gnostics who overdose on apophenia because they have made a cosmic conspiracy against the human soul a core part of their belief system.
>>18771796Gnosticism = God is evilSatanism = Satan is goodTechnically unrelated but compatible and often found together
>>18772076>>18772238Life isn't about suffering. Suffering is about life.
>>18772279Underrated post
>>18772074Honestly this picture wpuld be funnier without the söyjack in it.

>>18772229So child rape is our god-give duty then!
>>18772079>Thank you God for making this infant die from painful bone cancer. That really made me appreciate life and all its beauty and wonder
>>18771796>blueshit
>>18771796In gnosticism you are still aligned with the good god. Satanism is usually just atheists rebelling against religion in general in favor of nihilism (not that all atheists are nihilistic)
