obvious exegesis in life stuff and misc.

The idea of God being created by powerful men as an example of how we were supposed to treat those powerful men, to their benefit, modeling us how we were supposed to treat our “Betters” in the form of an all-powerful thing that would give us all the things in death that those powerful men stole from us in life, it plays so well into the Demiurge theory. It’s kind of the end-game of it. People realize that the powerful men who created God are actually venial, empty, monstrously cruel idiots, of course that will then end with people seeing their God as that actual reflection of them. The blind deluded monster God is the ultimate manifestation of the born-rich idiots who heartlessly rule and ruin our world. When the Trumps and Bezoses and Musks of the ancient world created a fraud to keep us in line, of course when we realized the truth of those entitled-bastards, there would come a vision of God that was as dumb and abhorrent as they were. The development of Gnostic Christianity just makes sense, historically, even if it isn’t “true”. Monsters made a God to reflect them, so reflect them God will. A monstrous way of ruling and living totally incompatible with the loving message of the preacher from Galilee, they had to come up with something to make it all make sense. A God as stupid and mean as the inherited kings and the thief chieftains was inevitable, bud. Here we are.
