Gnosticism

Nah, I've seen enough bad propaganda to know one. People of the past were naive, we deal with shit like that on daily basis nowadays.

Nope. Not Christian, either. I just did research.
Personally, I found Gnosticism to be pretty stupid.

Oh, yes, we're much more evolved now.

Nice strawman.

>We deal with more propaganda these days
>so we are more used to dealing with propaganda
>so we don't fall for lower-effort propaganda that we otherwise would.
is a reasonable statement.

Neoplatonism for edgy faggots Like what's the point in believing in an evil subgod?

The point is that it's free from contradictions like the problem of evil.

Gnosticism also had significant Zoroastrian influence, especially Manichaeism.

Interestingly, Mazdakism and older dualistic Zoroastrianism were free from Problem of Evil too.

I personally consider myself more of a Neo-Platonist rather then a Gnostic.
But even I can admit that Gnosticism has a much more intuitive explanation of the Problem of Evil then what is offered by Neo-Platonism.
