Brumar your message to James mentioned me as a gnostic.
I have been on the internet for several years and prior to that on national BBS chats. There have been many who believed in gnosticism but never experienced the gnosis.

I am gnostic by experience and not from any literature or any group of religionists. I was raised in the church of Christ and attended a bible school. I can assure you the experience of gnosis had nothing to do with the bible or taught beliefs.

You say you have intellectual curiosity. I can tell you I never had that for religion until after my revelation. I just had to know how a whole nation and especially myself could have accepted religion based on faith when it was so far from truth.

Since that experience almost 30 years ago I have researched
religious origins with untold hours and dedication and found
nothing to disprove any of the gnosis. However, I now understand how easily people are brainwashed by substituting
faith for reasoning.

The internet and online books will bring a new paradigm to religion and unless the church leaders change theirs they will die a slow death. Children of today see right through the hypocrisies of their parents and the internet will make them even wiser.
