"Gnostics" with a capital G usually means the Gnostic religious movement. The lowercase gnostic usually refers to the opposite of "agnostic", i.e. someone who knows (or claims knowledge) of God's existence.

Adrian's explanation is how I understand it.

@ Evie: To state that a gnostic is retarded before we hear their ideas is surely unreasonable? What if no one reasoned with you when you held that opinion. The guidelines are to stop the most stupid of arguments, but specifically legislate against theist arguments and not atheist ones.

Me too.

I already argued against that actually Smile As I believe I confirmed that I was only saying gnosticism itself is 'retarded' and I was not claiming that all gnostics are retards Wink

At least that's what I tried to get across Smile.

If your point is no position is in error, it's only people that are stupid sometimes.. then there is no need for a page for any religious position because according to you... no position is "retarded".

I think it's the position of, say, gnosticism that is 'retarded' .... and not necessarily the individuals, for they differ.
