Just trying to spread them out a bit. lol! I should probably do a "basic beliefs" entry too. Or at a least a history of my journey leaving religion.JeniMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564363524709017004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065767415801756448.post-13819520119375566902010-06-26T01:55:53.648-04:002010-06-26T01:55:53.648-04:00PS Glad you like the blog so far, thanks for my fi...PS Glad you like the blog so far, thanks for my first comment!Chadlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561495615950922682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065767415801756448.post-4186080032600701592010-06-26T01:55:35.827-04:002010-06-26T01:55:35.827-04:00Yeah, from my understanding, that's pretty muc...Yeah, from my understanding, that's pretty much the reasoning the ancient Gnostics had as well - YHWH was seen as very angry and iron-fisted compared to the "True God".I'm sure that will be an upcoming topic, as these first few entries are likely to be "catch-up" entries going over the basic beliefs before getting into the day-to-day musings!Chadlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561495615950922682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065767415801756448.post-45696803582974570052010-06-26T01:49:03.043-04:002010-06-26T01:49:03.043-04:00I'm interested in learning more about the Demi...I'm interested in learning more about the Demiurge. That is fascinating that Gnostics equated YHVH with evil and separate from the other God.

Maybe that will be a soon-to-be blog topic? :)JeniMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564363524709017004noreply@blogger.com
