<<I don't take Sam's viewpoint to be entirely in line with the following, but the most popular I'm aware of is that the Lord is evil - a "demiurge" unaware of the greater good found in His parents, one of whom has been referred to as "Sophia." In this belief system, the existence of matter is an abomination and procreation is avoided.
Another tack on this particular belief is that certain "chosen" gnostics are allowed to party very heartily during their lifetime, although most of this "matter is evil" persuasion chose to live non-sensual, non-sexual lives. The key is to escape without having children, for having children curses trapped spirits to another generation of existence in the body, which is matter.>>

Andy the above is not even close to my beliefs. It seems you have read some faroff beliefs claiming to be gnostics. The word Gnostic simply means knowing instead of believing. Claiming to know proves nothing for them or for me. Mankind worships many Gods in concept but there is only one true God of Love. The God portrayed in the Old Testament is not the God of love and is not the God I know.

If the God of the bible is your conviction so be it. Just don't go telling others what my belief is.
