There is desperate need for the concept of the Gnostic to take its rightful place in Christianity as a whole, there needs to be a reformation and I wish I had the resources and skills to start it.

There is such a stark difference between the compassionate, personal, and community-driven message Jesus spoke as compared to the insular, socially stingy, and hierarchical lives that his conservative supposed followers live.

And the sad thing is I really think they'd be a lot happier if they gave up on their worldly obsessions and bigotries and ACTUALLY read what he said. I know I am.
