Why are Gnostic cults so tempting? Why do people get sucked into them? It’s not because Gnostics go around telling people they’re wrong. It’s because they go around telling people they’re limited. They don’t want you to know these secrets, but we do. That’s the Gnostic temptation.

old meaning of "Gnostic" was some one who just says THEY DONT KNOW ( as in not an atheist who claims "god doesnt exist" but ones who say they dont know )

oops, your right, but looking at the rootword

Gnostic - Gnostics were seekers of gnosis, a mystical knowledge of God and the self that transcended ordinary reason and faith
