in the interest of furthering discourse, here's an anti-gnostic edit someone made

I feel like I've stumbled upon something I shouldn't have. Like two beings with knowledge far greater than my own discussing matters of reality. Maybe its just because it's almost six in the morn. But I'm so very terrified. This feels like forbidden knowledge. What the fuck is a demiurge? Oh god

These are basic concepts of gnostic theology. Gnosticism was a theological rival of the early church, and the church responded by inventing the idea of heresy, and applying it to gnostic teachings. It feels like forbidden occult knowledge because it is literally forbidden occult knowledge. But we have the internet now, so nowadays it's also the sort of thing people make mspaint comics on 4chan about.
