I saw this recent tiktok video of a teacher expressing how increasingly she's noticed the kids not able to really comprehend what they are reading or have any basic critical thinking skills. It's a bit of an eye opener.

Anyways to any parents on this site do your kids read books?

Apparently there's various verses in Gnostics gospels I've read online, from the multiple books, 📚 📖 religion aside, just from a character study point of view for a tick here:

And hell lol 😆 😈 👀 the texts even open up to their own weird can of worms of cliffhangers: like Seinfeld, was the whole "a Christian story or Gnostic story" all a show about nothing, a tale about nothing - it's almost like the whole "sins on the cross" was just a going through the motions, ticking a box ☑️ lol. I mean read the Google AI, results, thank you. Keywords imply. Lol.

The gnostics almost seem to fill in some otherwise now obvious gaps - rarely is Jesus shown expressing emotions, let alone flippant emotions, in mainstream gospels. In Gnostic gospels, the guy practically comes across as a comedian almost a spitting image of the Pacino's Devil character in 1997's Devil's Advocate, full of sadist quick humour, sarcasm, and downright deviancy.

😆 Like the kind of low-brow, right below the belt edgy humour of someone saying basically "so it's like reading something epic like Star Wars, yet it's just the same old same old, yet as if the star is a edgy comedian giving a long running show routine about edgy one liner's and punchlines" - lol 😆 Gnostic Jesus, what a beast 🤪🫡

And I like it 😂 😆 or found it amusing and bemusing. Gnostic Jesus really is his own kettle of fish (an expression, he really is something unique) compared to "the Jesus we know" in mainstream Mark, Matthew, Like and John (and technically, Acts and Romans the other main texts / Paul's stuff).
