  • The gnostics figured out an explanation for this 2000 years ago.

    According to them, the “God” who created the material world and is talked about in the Old Testament is an evil and/or ignorant lesser deity and that’s why the world sucks.

    The “real” God rules over the immaterial (souls, knowledge, and the likes) and is called “the Invisible Spirit”.

    Both the snake and later on Jesus were agents/emanations of this “Invisible Spirit” sent to bring knowledge (“gnosis” in Greek) to humanity in order to help them break free from the prison that is the material world.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is that it doesn’t matter how logical and internally consistent your ideology is, the one who is more organized wins out in the end. This doesn’t have anything to do with any currently ongoing political situation. 🫠
