    Gnostic christian are called “thoses without kings”

    They follow jesus teaching and authorize themself to interpret the bible by themself.

    they follow such principles as

    • sharing
    • do not respect ceremonies as “these are made by man for god and not by god for man” (jesus)
    • accepting other sexuality
    • accepting free love and even encouraging them
    • women have the same role as man
    • preachers are sometimes chosen randomly
    • preachers are sometimes rotated to be sure everyone can preach
    • woman preaches as well
    • everyone can access a preach be it from their religion, another or not at all AND talk

    HERETICS HERETICS !!!

    for a bit of context, the jesus teachings have some truly emancipator and somewhat revolutionary shit in it. Follow god because it is a god of love. Do not because you are afraid of it. Tolerance: “those of you who never did evil throw the first stone, nobody throws a stone, i do not condemn you, DO NOT CONDEMN YOURSELF, go and don’t do evil” anti-rule, healing people during sabbat.

    The problem is the church. For accessing such a beautiful message you will be put in a machine that will destroy you and others. Wars, exterminations, peoples burnings “love each other” included especially people you did not agree with! “turn the other cheek” for fuck sake

    Of course those gnostics groups do not follow every other principle. Just like modern day anarchists do not follow exactly the same principles as each other but they can work together in surprising ways.

    my sources are wikipedia and a french video on a leftist media from someone who is not a historian but exégète (he re-interpret history) They try to be as exact as possible. It is from a series that is called “the empire never ended” on blast.

    He does that because the French have something called “national roman” it is how history is teached or talked about that glorify authority like no other. (especially in far right-circles, but they own the media so…) Even when from an historian standpoint it is stupidy manifest. “The king extended the limit of the frontiers! he is so good ! killing millions, raising taxes, engrenging revolt that he then has to calm… by killing them all”, “no woman could resist his charm ! he is so good! He literally never bathes, all say he stink, think about what happen if they tried to resist stupid fuck”!
