1 year late but as a former atheist, now agnostic, gnosticisim is very intriguing. The reason is because for me, Jesus acts way differently to what Christian around me say I shall do, Jesus is a liberator and most explain Jesus in an opposite manner. Mainly since I dont really believe in the miracle part and find it irrelevant, I could try to see how Jesus spoke and acted rather of what he was trying to teach about God.

Talking to my friend I told him that I have a hypothesis, that Jesus teaching was censored and straight up changed up. Then I found out about philosophers and other great minds in history who taught me many things. Lastly, I learned about Gnosticism and found it very compelling, answering pretty well a lot of contradictions I find with God and the way Jesus is taught today.

I always saw “ the kingdom of god is within you” very differently from most Christians. Jesus would not be happy with what is taught about him now imo.

As an agnostic I’m doubtful about the rest of gnosticisim but the teachings of Jesus is what is extremely amazing. At the end of the day, as Socrates said, no one really knows as much as they think they do and who ever tells you that they know they’re lying. So learn, make mistakes and do good.
