Gnosticism recovery centre

Yeah, probably not too much to worry about. Its just a sort of cult to dupe people into getting into satanism without their conscience turning them away as far as I can tell. Anything that blatant is also not especially deceptive. Its things like quantum physics theories and many philosophical schools that we really must be wary of.

Got into hermetics, read gnostic gospels, communicated with demons, and then saw Christianity was actually much deeper and slowly weened myself off the other stuff and got into studying the Bible and Satanic conspiracies. I probably broke my brain with all that dark spiritual stuff and I'm not sure how to recover.

LaVeyan Satanism is strictly atheistic though. I wouldn't say it's fully "Satanic" in the Christian sense of the word.

beg God to remove those deceptions

Yeah, when I was younger I was pseudo-gnostic.

Aquinas, William Lane Craig, and Irenaeus. Seriously.

Aquinas' definition of a monotheistic god was solid. Criag's expansion on aquinas and kalam with his mathematical idea that you cannot have an infinite regress was pretty solid too (his focus was on regress in time). Rereading Irenaeus after hearing these set it all up and finished it, since one of his arguments against the gnostics is essentially exposing an infinite regress in the idea of having "gods above god/the demiurge"; this time, the regress was in "layers" of deities – if the demiurge had bythos above him, how can we be sure there is no god above bythos? It's a regress…

in the end, the gnostic cosmology stopped being logical, so I couldn't follow it anymore.

nothing about gnosticism I found appealing is heretical, and everything that is heretical in gnosticism is illogical. I am not tempted by gnosticism, therefore, I do not "deal" with it.

Well i believe in the divinity of Christ and God the father but i used to think why wouldnt God just destroy everything right after the fall? Is eating an apple really that wrong? Does that make it up for the stubbed toe suffering we experience?

Why is this world still here?

Im now a Christian and i got answers.

And also the question of imposition takes place then the question of why am i here

God being in everything helped me a bit on the problem of evil

I still wouldn't call God good because he transcends Good and evil.

I don't have the answers and I am more satisfied with that than having any answers.

t. Orthodox

Catholics even crusaded against Catholics (see razing of city of Zara)

Not an argument
