Lately a friend of mine at work (who is a Gnostic Christian) has been 
talking to me about his religion and I have been truely fascinated.
I have always believed that christian's view of man/the world/the cosmos
has been obstucted by the lower end of their digestive tract but this
guy makes sense!

Some my question is: How is the Gnostic chruch (not very big in the US
but alledgedly very big in Canada, Europe, and Mexico) viewed by the
"convential" christians?  I know that the Gnostics consider them 
(convential christians) to be essentially correct but misguided. I
would really prefer comments about theological dispute as opposed to
the "I think they're all jerks" flavor of comments.
