Atheists, will you willing take up gnosticism/manichaeanism/mandaeanism?

Question

Hello, Blessings and Peace,

If you have any knowledge of gnosticism, manichaeanism or mandaeanism then would you be willing to profess their tenets and teachings and at the same time practice them?

I ask because, esp with men and women of intellect, reason, logic, knowledge and of the experience if life I can imagine agnostics and atheists and humanists as becoming greater gnostics, manichaeans or mandaeans. See this not as an threat, since I or the gnostic, manichaean or mandaean do no wrong to any fellow dweller in the inn (from the Hymn of the Pearl).

Can you anything to this?

"the search for gnosis, wisdom and compassion adds value to the passer by"- that what I say.

Remember see this not as an attempt to confuse you or to annoy you.

Answer 1

Sorry, I flirted with gnosticism a bit, it just ain't my cup of tea. I feel more drawn to Paganism.

LMAO@Icarus! That was witty

Answer 2

Do you have any evidence for gnosticism, manichaeanism or mandaeanism, or that their beliefs, deities, writings are factual and provable?

Answer 3

I think you're confused about the definition of agnostic and atheist.

Christians think we'd be "greater" as a Christian... so?

Answer 4

Sorry, I'm an atheist with a religion. I'm not looking to trade it in at this point in time for another one, no matter how shiny.

Thanks though!

Answer 5

I don't want to worship anyone just at the moment, thank you very much.

Answer 6

that would require that we believed in your deity...and we don't..

dang it tawaen, you always beat me to the punch, and with really good answers

Answer 7

All three are religions, with gods and doctrine, why would you think that we would be interested?
