Far more impressive than people who believe in bullshit.
So who exactly is the "consensus" of yours between? The gnostics? Real impressive mate.
I suggest you read Bart Ehrman's "Lost Christianities" You have a lot to learn about the gnostics.
Yes, they were just as fucked up as the proto-orthodox but so much of your bullshit was forced on the church by trying to counteract gnostic or other heretical groups.
