Yeah.


Gnosticism was "cool" for like a year or two after the Da Vinci Code came out, and it was interesting to discover this old strange offshoot. But there's really not much there, and very pretentious and arrogant, with many Gnostics thinking they're being deep and so enlightened when really everyone else sees them as shallow. They can be like the emo teen going on about how "no one knows what it feels like" when everyone does.

I'm glad they preserved the gospel of Thomas for us, but their neoplatonic-lite cosmology is kind of dumb.
