Default Re: Why did we stop inventing gods?

All true - not to mention the rate at which we re-invent old ones.

And of course the lazy assumption is that Gnosticism is morally superior - which is not quite such a given. A God that allows a Demiurge to remove sentient parts of itself and create a flawed creation from which only a select enlightened few return does not strike me as all that moral. You could argue and say that it is not that simple, but since you judge other creeds on a similarly shallow level you really don't get to claim that.

It can really be a rather smug and elitist creed designed to appeal to the kind of person who likes to think of themselves as just a little smarter, just a little more evolved, enlightened and advanced than those around them.
