What did you find repulsive about Gnosticism?

Not to mention that its emphasis is on the subjective as opposed to the objective. There's little to no way to corroborate its claims. Kind of like Islam.

I find its utter disconnect from ordinary reality pretty aggravating, not to mention its inhumanity and contempt for intelligence.
A Christian can be crushed gazing at the picture of Mary standing at the foot of the cross, watching her beloved son suffocate and die. But in that vision, she stands there for hours, patiently enduring her suffering. For two millennia, she has been a role model for Christians, a woman who practiced obedience in the most difficult of human circumstances, with fervent hope for what this sacrifice will offer all mankind as it struggles with sin.

This is why it seems so hard to reflect that vision of patience when black-hearted "artists" practice character assassination on the Blessed Virgin...
