Depends entirely on the "flavor" of gnosticism. Some flavors believe that creation wasn't created by God but by the "other guy" (Satan, the demiurge). > I still believe that it owes a lot to Buddhism... That's a stretch. Many translations of the First Noble Truth have it as "Life is suffering," but that's not related in any way to God, since they don't believe in one. ------------------------ Yahoo!
