that's not a God, but an inferior demiurge, as correctly figured by Marcion > [Yeah, I know the official story is that Lucifer's sin was envy. the official story is thoroughly flawed. of course Lucifer means carrier of light, and thus has nothing to do with sin. but the contrary. Lucifer brings enlightenment to those people who are enchained in the darkness of oppression and stupor the demiurge imposed upon them. Thus it's Plato who equalled the situation of unenlightened mankind with that of prisoners in a dark cave. Sin is the rejection of the light brought by the carrier of light. Same goes for those who have once seen the light of the Symbolic Expressions, but continue rejoycing in infix Syntax. Klaus Schilling -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
