What could possibly be better than that, in terms of mind set?

Yes. But this is not just about me and many do not do as I do.
Quote:If that's the goal..though, the choice to be a gnostic christian becomes even more mystifying.  Are you entirely sure that you know what gnostic christianity was..........? 

No. I am not sure, and it matters little because it is a religion that allows itself to evolve over time thanks to new and better modern ideas. I can cherry pick my own religion, or what our enemies wrote of it, and throw out the garbage that has been written of it by the liars that won the God wars.
Quote:Perhaps you could provide a very brief summary of what the gnostic christian belief set entails, as you see it?

That is tough but I am trying. meet me here if you like. I was asked the same question and have put a fair bit of material there.

I guess that you have not noticed the homophobia and misogyny that is still rife in the world thanks again, mostly to religions.

I guess that you do not have any gays or women in your family. If you did, they would slap you silly as they have been discriminated against without a just cause by religions forever and are religions longest running victim.

And I have not even mentioned Inquisitions, Jihads and Holy wars.

I think you're getting off track here.  The subject is fraud, not harm in general.

I hear you but if one cannot see the great harm that have come out of religions, one will not see the harm of open and apparent fraud as they would be showing a poor moral sense from the get go.
