also here is another Gnostic Society Library: Sources on Gnosticism and Gnosis
couldn't agree more dank, people become "saved" and then look down on everyone else like they did something special. in reality they were just given something they didn't deserve. that's when you're supposed to start lifting people up, being kind to everyone, and not in a "i was nice, give me my prize" way; in a loving, self-less way.[/quote]

No skunky, that is where you are wrong.
Do you remember the story of Mary Magdalen? When she was brought before Jesus to be stoned, Jesus, bent down before each one of the disciples and wrote out their sins into the dirt.. At which time he stood back up and said, "those without sin can cast the first stone."
If you read into biblical teachings, Christ didn't hang out with the Rabbis, He hung out with the dregs of society.
Sorry dank? On which point am I wrong? i know Jesus hung out with the dregs of society (I've said as much, and worse, on this site before). I also know the cast the first stone story. I didn't say he hung out with the rabbi's... I said he hung out with St. Peter. I bet Jesus knew their sins so well because he was there when they done them.
I've also bullshitted the christmas story.
I take it you are an athiest. Please explain to me beauty, Please explain love. Explain joy, explain those wonderful feelings of complete oneness with a higher power you can get from some drugs. I would find it impossible to believe there was not a higher power acting in the universe. to believe that all that we see was an act of random selection, is too impossible for me to believe. I have no disdain for athiests and in fact worked with one side by side for 7 years. No amount of persuasion on my part could move him. He believed we came from pond scum and ended up where we are through random, selection, end of conversation. If you are in this category, I feel sorry for you. you'll never know the joy of being one with the creator. But Skunky, I love you anyway!I didn't say scientologists are sane, I said the sanest of the lot. Scientologists are far from sane... in fact they are half deluded, unlike the christians and any other deity worshipping bunch that are FULLY deluded.
