(although I do understand the back-derivation of the term 'gnostic' in this context)

Sure, it's obvious enough, but is typical of that nasty 'I understand [some of] insert 'classical' language, therefore, look at how brilliantly and privately educated I most certainly am' mentality that infects discussions surrounding the subject area of this particular board like smallpox and which deserves to be responded to with nothing less than a sudden outburst of extreme violence.

So because someone is smart enough to take away an "a" from "agnostic", they must be some privately educated haughty snob?

No. It's more that if someone is stupid enough to think that doing so demonstrates how oh-so-f[inks]ing clever then they are more likely than not to be a privately educated snobbish idiot.

I missed the note at the bottom of the chart that reads "OMG I'm so [inks]ing clever".

The bit where it says, in italics, 'since it claims knowledge', is rather annoying. You must admit. And the whole 'not knowing what gnostic christianity actually is' is also rather annoying, though not in my opinion indicative of being privately educated, but rather of being some american guy running a site on 'religion and philosophy'. Hope this helps Smiley

Yeah, I guess you might interpret it this way if you really want to.

I'm just not the kind of guy who tends to read between lines, I guess.
