@jeff So your asserting the ruling class is exclusively christian? And Christians are evil?
So non christians dont care about the future, only themselves?
I mean, nonchristians have values beyond themselves... christians by definition act out of a desire for personal reward in the afterlife... So technically of thet wo groups it would seemt he chritians are the self-serving ones.
But that is hardly a debate of value for me to dive into.
As someone who studies the Gnostic traditions heavily I cant say I agree with this view. While its a fine interpritation and im glad you have one that is more forward looking, I would not say this is centrally defined in christian gnosticism.
