Comment on With how shitty some Christians are, you really have to wonder if Lucifer or Satan is truly "evil"

I got really stoned one time as teenager and thought I had come to the very real and imminent discovery that Christianity is and was always the work of deep evil to silence and quell all other true religions. The crusades, the burning of the library at Alexandria, Pope John Paul III sitting on his throne of pure gold, It all made perfect sense. Don’t question it, just have faith.
I more or less fell headlong into atheism of a sort shortly thereafter, so part of me must really believe that on some level I guess?

Seth Ian gnosticism. You beheld the demiurge and stopped short before seeing the light of the pleroma. You’re not wrong, but there’s a few more steps on the path yet.

You’re getting downvoted but I believe you’re principally correct. Except it’s Sethian.

Yeah thank you for that. Damned autocorrect is a crime against literacy.

I read the excerpt on Wikipedia and it didn’t seem to fully describe my own experiences, though I expect it doesn’t hold a candle to the depths of the topic. I will have to read more to see if it helps verbalize the feeling I get towards organized religion.
Thank you for this.
