@jeff Oh, why would they care any less than anyone else? Seems they would have the same concern for their family and friends after they are gone that anyone else would
@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.
