Sinning, as Jesus and the church say, is good. Turn or burn Christians.

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.

Regards
DL
