Can you give some historical examples of older Gnostic sects being more moral than Christians? I'm curious.
A few quick ones come to mind.
We are universalists and do not discriminate against gays and women without a just cause the way Christians do.
We do not idol worship as Christians do.
We never used inquisitions.
We have never embraced a genocidal Yahweh and named him a demiurge.
We never claim to be the only way to enlightenment or believed that a true god would condemn his creation unjustly like Yahweh did.
We also never bought into Jesus dying for our sins as his asking us to ride a scapegoat and abdicate our responsibility for our actions is completely immoral.
I could go on.
