Is the God of the old testament actually Satan? Were they massacred because they knew the truth?
Pretty much everything about the cathars including the name itself was written by third parties who had never even seen one.

>>42093963Are there any writings about them that are accurate? What were they called if not Cathars?

>>42093943They understood that the Old Testament is a series of metaphors and allegories which are not to be taken literally.That's not where they clashed with the Catholic Church anyway. OT isn't canon.The Cathars were massacred because unlike the Church, they were encouraging people to embody Godhood themselves exactly as Jesus said people should do.The Church is a political power with top-down authority over lords and kings as much as they have it over peasants. Cathars didn't go against the teachings of Jesus, they opposed Church authority.
>>42093983It in all likelihood it was never a unified movement but was a contrivance to justify mundane politics later appropriated by various groups in the 17th century. The bullshit that neognostics like >>42093981 hang on are a mix of unreliable inconsistent accounts and 17th centruy forgeries
>>42093943Maybe. Veganism is good and mutilating children's genitals is bad. But maybe it's just that scriptural inerrancy is false and a liberal version of Christianity is true
>>42093943Yaldabaoth is playing both sides.The old-testament story is like a fantasy novel he has written for his world, and he plays and directs the "divine" characters.And his archons play the angels and demons.The spiritual psyop is bigger than most people can imagine.
