First of all, all the platonic concepts presented in the /x/ conception of Gnosticism come from Valentinus, who specifically did not believe in dualism. The material realm is therefore not evil, but flawed and imperfect. The idea of the Demiurge being the devil or some kind of morally (keyword) flawed villain who is purposefully doing evil comes from Marcion of Sinope 
(though you're probably only aware of it because you argue with other mentally ill paranoid schizophrenic retards on 4chan)

wait, wait wait... so you acknowledge that there's a gnostic group that views the world as evil, and then still argue that 'gnostics don't view the material world as evil'? Don't you think that's being a tad bit disingenuous? Why not just state from the beginning that there are multiple viewpoints instead of ignoring half of all gnostics?

not really no, I don't normally post on here since there's waaay too much disinformation and i'd rather just read actual books in the hope of it being more knowledgeable. (I realize that not all books are 'correct', but it still beats getting second hand opinions from anons on here who won't even list their sources or at the very least explain their viewpoint in a cogent manner)
