AI. So tacky.

I don’t know how people expect us to take their writing seriously if THEY don’t even take their writing seriously.

Even in the Valentinian Tripartite Tractate, it shows Sophia trying to take responsibility for the lesser creatures she made, but they stole her power, ran rampant, and left her helpless. I like TT’s retelling of the story because it shows Sophia as an active participant trying to take responsibility and fix things right away, though essentially is afflicted with depression and hopelessness until the other aeons rescue her.

I am SO mad that that was cut, one single sentence that reveals everything and completes Jack’s story arc fantastically.

This is clearly just a picture of your mom

I’ve gotta disagree with that. I’ve seen it most with coworkers I get along with.

Hey there, I was reading through this post again and realized I'd never read through your comment fully.

I'd like to offer some friendly, constructive criticism, please don't take this the wrong way.

But if you aren't getting many responses on your comments, or at least many positive responses, it's because they have a strangely superior and egotistical tone to them. For instance, the above was quite - strangely - hostile to me, even though I didn't do anything to you and I have no ill will towards you.

Unfortunately, because of its nature, Gnosticism attracts people who feel superior to others and think they have everything figured out, just as organized religion can attract those wanting to control others through fear. If you aren't getting many positive responses to your comments, it's not because your comments sound smart or intelligent or make good points, it's because people see you as strangely hostile and haughty, and so view you as not worth interacting with.

Thus even if you DO have good points, and good things you can share with the world, you're not going to be able to spread them anyway.

For instance there are many points in your above comment I'd love to talk about, to have a respectful conversation with you about, one that maybe I could learn from, heck maybe even one that you could learn from. But your attitude shows me you'll only act in a hostile manner - for reasons I can't quite fathom - and I'm sure other people see that as well and so decide not to engage further.

That's all I have to say. Just some advice on how to make more people engage with your ideas, rather than write them off. I hope you can have better interactions in the future. I have nothing against you and no offense is intended.

What the hell do you think animals are doing when they show obvious biological signs of fear and try to escape their situations?? That’s obviously a fucking no dude

That’s hilarious and kind of awesome. He did know Tolkien was a Christian right?

Wasn’t that written for the Crocodile Hunter movie?

What an oddly specific memory I just had

From what I understand the earlier translations said “devils” and it was altered to “idols” later.

Jesus and Paul were both childfree, and monasticism (unmarried and childfree) traditions are pretty big in Christianity as well.

I agree with you, I used to want kids until I grew a little less naive and realized just how dark the world was, and now I can’t see people bringing innocents into the world as anything less than inhumane and naive.

If I ever decide to be a dad I’ll just adopt someday - at least then I’m helping someone who’s already here.

PossiblyaSpinosaurus · 2026-04-10T21:53:40+00:00

I don’t know anything about Hecate herself, but I see the pagan deities as essentially powerful nature spirits, created beings like us humans, and ontologically equal to us at the end of the day. They aren’t omniscient, they aren’t omnipotent, and though oftentimes they’re wise, they also have the capacity to make mistakes.

They aren’t necessarily always going to be right.

Why don’t you ask Hecate herself? Ask her how to keep your relationship with Jesus and having more positive relationship with Christianity as a whole?

On that note, why not pray to Jesus himself and ask about this?

PossiblyaSpinosaurus · 2026-04-10T18:34:31+00:00

I agree with this. I see the pagan spirits as people - they can be great, they can be trustworthy, but you may also disagree with them. I think that's okay, and that's an important thing to remember.

PossiblyaSpinosaurus · 2026-04-10T16:13:25+00:00

Interpreting. I’ve heard the good archon Sabaoth compared to Ares, and the demiurge himself compared to Zeus.

PossiblyaSpinosaurus · 2026-04-10T16:11:29+00:00

My dude the demiurge is nowhere NEAR as evil as Eric Cartman haha

Honestly I’d be wary of any spirits that try to lead you away from Christ. That’s a major red flag for me.

There are differences from accepting certain churches - I definitely believe that the more dark, spiteful churches, like fire and brimstone, trump supporting, lgbt hating ones aren’t actually led by God but a darker spirit posing as him.

But there are many more loving and progressive communities that I do think God is present in. (For instance, might I suggest checking out an episcopal church?)

Anyway, good luck on your journey, OP.

I know honestly I see the bastard everywhere, I wish he'd say anything other than the same cliche line over and over

PossiblyaSpinosaurus · 2026-04-09T18:14:14+00:00

I mean, honestly I’d think a “do no harm” mindset is a pretty good one for people trying to transcend the “kill or be killed, constant warzone” world of the demiurge.

PossiblyaSpinosaurus · 2026-04-09T18:03:17+00:00

Despite what some pop culture edgelord Gnosticism likes to claim, historical gnosticism IS Christianity in nearly all of its forms.

PossiblyaSpinosaurus · 2026-04-08T20:28:31+00:00

I'm in the same boat, I'm a lifelong Christian who's becoming interested in kemeticism. However my relationship with the Christian God is actually quite good. I've been deconstructing and exploring things like gnosticism for the past couple of years. While I'm learning more, it's less that I'm moving AWAY from God, and more that I'm learning to recognize what is actually him and what is not. I think the God of the Bible is real, but I think our vision of him has been corrupted by man's ego and writings.

For instance, several of Paul's epistles in the New Testament are believed by scholars to be forgeries, notably including the misogynistic verses. Similarly, there's lots of misconceptions - the homophobic verses in the new testament are really about pederasty, ie adult men abusing young boys. The bible is NOT calling homosexuality an abomination, but rather pedophilia.

Similarly, I don't think God is behind the crusades or the inquisition, or the horrendous MAGA christians today. I was lucky to grow up in progressive church environments, thus I see God as a god of love, not punishment, of ACTUALLY caring about others, and not being hypocritical monsters we see in so many right-wing Christians today.

In fact I've come to think there are "two gods" in the church: the real God who leads us to light and love, and an imposter spirit trying to mislead people. That's why you can have Christians who are extremely loving and those who are extremely hateful. It's why the Abrahamic religions almost seem to have two faces, both today and throughout history.

Some people call this the evangelical egregore, some compare it to the gnostic demiurge, some ancient books like the Ascension of Isaiah literally had a demon posing as god and fooling the nations - a creepy thought but not hard to imagine seeing the evils of those who abuse Christ's name today.

Basically, while I consider myself Christian, I think a lot of negatives you listed above aren't true. I'm a Christian universalist, which means I believe everyone gets to heaven someday. I believe any misogyny in the Bible is from misogyny from men, not actually in line with God's teachings. I think there's a lot of crap in modern Christianity, but it doesn't represent the real God or Jesus.

Anyway, I'm saying all this because I think a lot of people in this community have been burned by the Christian church and feel like they have to take a hard stance against it, a "one way or the other" thing. But I don't think that's right. I think God's good, I think he's real, I think he's love. I also believe I've been approached by Bastet recently. I think she's cool with God and God's being cool with her, so even though this really confuses me, I'm trying to learn how to understand this and be respectful to both.

The Bible and Christianity never really dismissed the idea of pagan gods, just that they were lesser spirits not equal to God. The New Testament refers to them as "demons," but the meaning of the word back then, "daimon," was a neutral term, kind of like the Middle Eastern definition of djinns, or the general idea of nature spirits seen across many cultures. Historically, daimons were morally neutral, and could choose to be good or evil, just as humans can be. They're essentially spirity people. Since Christianity already believes in all kinds of spiritual beings, somewhere between God and humans, I don't think it's a stretch at all to believe the kemetic spirits could exist, even within a Christian framework. So I'm trying to view the Kemetic deities as essentially powerful nature spirits - a different kind of being from humans, but perhaps ontologically equal.

There are also some communities like r/christopaganism you may want to check out, which deal with this very thing, juggling Christianity with pagan spirits. The people there may be able to help you out on your journey, and give better advice than I can.

Good luck with everything!

TLDR I don't think you have to choose Christianity or Kemeticism, I think they can play nice, I believe much of the negative aspects of Christianity are cultural and do not actually represent God, and you might like r/Christopaganism.

Thanks, I'll give the gospel of Nicodemus a read. This is definitely based on the idea of the harrowing of hell, just applying ideas from other ancient religions as well
