Demiurge

Share definition Flag
A lesser and confused God in Gnosticism, who created the material universe. He is an emanation from the true God, but erroneously thinks he is the highest deity. Because he traps the immaterial souls of humans (which originate from the realm of the true God) in material bodies, is responsible for creating the universe and all the evil within it and tries to hinder humans from attaining Gnosis (hidden divine knowledge needed to return to the true God after death), he is seen as malevolent.
In an Internet context, he is often ironically mentioned as the being responsible for bad in the world.
Person 1: So many children die of hunger ever year, why is there so much needless suffering in the world?
Person 2: It's the demiurge.
