  • The God of the Old Testament is an absolute monster, so I automatically like the guy who opposed him more.

    I really like the Gnostic belief that this God is the “demiurge”… a lesser, malevolent, ignorant and false god who created the material world as a flawed imitation of the divine realm. He traps human souls in matter, while the true, transcendent God remains distant and unknowable. Some gnostics see the serpent as the good guy for encouraging Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of knowledge and free humanity from the ignorance of Yaldabaoth, the blind fool god, very much like Morpheus in The Matrix (which adapts all kinds of ideas from Gnosticism).







  • Of course the ones who are already brainwashed will love religion being imposed on everybody because that’s how it works. Those people probably voted for Trump or not at all. Plenty of young people didn’t vote for Trump and despise him, same as any other demographic. Imposing religion on these people won’t work. The rate of non-believers has skyrocketed over the last several decades. Doubt it has ever been higher. Nothing the Republicans do will make them suddenly believe in this trash. Will only make them hate religion even more.
