>>34630137The demiurge created the universe and its laws but because of that thinks he is god, who created existence. His pride and paranoia leads him to act as the Judeo-Christian God, Yahweh, who demands strict obedience and worship and curses people to eternal torment.
Sophia, wisdom, allows mankind - who were truly created by god - to see past this, realize Yahweh/Yaldabaoth/Demiurge isn't actually the true god, and escape the world he crafted. The demiurge imprisoned Sophia, but she succeeded and man is still capable, though most are blind.
Hell is self-generated by man out of belief in the laws of Yahweh. Heaven is realizing this is bullshit and becoming one with god, existence.
Someday even the demiurge will become aware of this, be forgiven, and release the men who followed him from Hell.
So sayeth hipster Christians from right after Jesus died (Jesus was the avatar of the real god, btw).
