Gnosticism

An ancient religious movement that evolved out of nascent Jewish and Christian sects in the late 1st century A.D. Gnosticism is a very subversive set of ideas, and it's distantly related to other Abrahamic mystical traditions like Kabbalah, but was suppressed by the early orthodox Christians and Jews as a perversion of their beliefs.

Basically, Gnostics read the first chapters of Genesis in a very different way than is traditional, seeing the serpent that tempted Adam and Eve as good and viewing the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil as humanities first step into consciousness.

Because of this, Gnosticism posits that the god of the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh, is actually an evil bastard child of the lowest aeon called Sophia (Greek for "Wisdom") who disobeyed the higher aeons and fell from grace.

Gnostic cosmogonies are complex and convoluted and very diverse across different movements, but a basic description of it would be that basically Yahweh and his archons (Greek for "rulers") created the physical world and rule over it, trapping our souls within it to keep us from the light world, the world which is ruled by the aeons and a Supreme God who is fundamentally good and who possesses both masculine and feminine hypostases.

Many Gnostics believe this good God is the God of the New Testament and they generally regard Jesus as a savior who came into the world to rescue a fallen Sophia and bring humanity back into the light world through knowledge.

As defined by Milo & Friends

o worshippers of the mighty all
i had a dream
the bass master general came to me
we had a little snack at the donut shop

he said
"drink of my bonus cup, it is my blood"
"eat of this crapper, it is my body"
and his spirit entered me and i became all-ular
the bass master said "you are the chosen one"

"these are the all-o-gistics"
(chanting begins)

thou shalt not commit laundry
thou shalt covet thy neighbor's food (all)
thou shalt not create ties with the scathed (no all)
thou shalt always go for greatness
thou shalt not commit adulthood (all)
thou shalt not partake of decaf (all!)
thou shalt not suppress flatulence
thou shalt not commit hygiene (all!)
thou shalt not have no idea (all)
thou shalt commit thyself to an institution (no all)
thou shalt not take the van's name in vain
thou shalt not allow anything to deter you in your quest for all (all!)

tell me good people who is the sole achiever
who has ground his teeth and gums
so we may live in the beauty of all
(bass master general)

you may achieve all
and not wallow unknown for eternity,
all you have to do is do it! all!
(we shall achieve all)

study them, believe in them,
you must believe, do you believe in it?!
believe and you shall achieve
(we shall achieve all)

he who bears the most gas,
let him also bear forth his ass,
and cast forth the first frap
(all!)

you may achieve bass by chanting the small psalm of all (all!)

(bass master general)

he does everything for us best guess for this phrase
for when he brought it among us

you shall achieve all, all, allll!!!
(we shall achieve all!)
Behold...these are the all-o-gistics!

gnostic

Literally, "one who knows." Every religion has its gnostics, but Gnostic with a capital G almost always refers to Christian Gnostics. Beliefs vary widely, but essentially they value personal revelation and mysticism over dogma. Gnostics believe absolute religious truth can be known but it is only revealed towards enlightened humans, and the Gnostics purported to teach secrets that orthodox Christianity did not know. Hence, most Gnostic gospels are titled "The Secret Book of insert name."

The more extreme Gnostic theologians theorized that the Earth was created by an imperfect creator, called the Demiruge, who had "spun off" from a higher Father but does not realize it. Jesus was sent by the Father to show humanity the truth. The Cainites went one step further; they believed the Demiurge was evil, and they worshiped as saints all who stood against him in the Bible - Cain, Judas, etc.
The gnostics were mostly eliminated by Irenaeus and the orthodox movement, but they have seen a resurgence in the 20th century, as more gnostic gospels are discovered and translated.
