Gnostics were and are knowers of truth, and not believers of tales and fables, those tells we're told to the masses of people as allagory, where written by Mistics and contain truth, but, are not literal facts,but at the same time they are true. I don't believe there is a man waiting on some planet somewhere waiting to judge us upon death. But I do know that, everything and everyone is composed of energy and energy can't be disapated, it just transforms to another form, some say heaven and hell, I don't believe or know of such things, just hear about them.
