Gnosticism presents a distinction between the highest, unknowable God or Supreme Being and the demiurgic "creator" of the material, commonly identified as Yahweh, the God of the Hebrew Bible. Several systems of Gnostic thought present the Demiurge as antagonistic to the will of the Supreme Being: his act of creation occurs in an unconscious semblance of the divine model, and thus is fundamentally flawed, or else is formed with the malevolent intention of entrapping aspects of the divine in materiality. Thus, in such systems, the Demiurge acts as a solution to (or, at least possibly, the problem or cause that gives rise to) the problem of evil.

And that my friends is why it sometimes is so hard to get up in the morning !

Thought this was supposed to be a thread about the Ukrain conflict not the ramblings of folks views on religion….So with Sweden and Finland now wanting to join NATO which is something not even the Cold War achieved I wonder how there general population feel on russia and if there is any resistance to joining nato.

There are some misgivings i know in Finland but to what extent 🤷‍♂️, two of my sons have done their National service there and both stayed with family members whilst on leave, the vibe I get from the uncle they stayed with ( whom was a navy regular and reservist for many years) is not positive in particular when it comes to sending large amounts of equipment etc, mind you he’s getting close to 60 now so may view things differently to the younger people looking at the whole Ukrainian/NATO situation. I do know there are a good few Finnish Jaegers in Ukraine fighting right now, historically absolutely no love lost between Russia and Finland.

It’s a nothing story imo. 
Otherwise Dubya would have one as well, if anyone thinks Putin or the Russian public give a monkey’s toss about this, they want their heads looking at.

I don't think it's a nothing story, it does mean that his international travel is severely restricted. Whether he cares or not I'm not really arsed  tbh.

I think he’d pretty much reconciled himself to crossing Disneyland off his wish list anyway.

Whilst he may be gutted that he will never get the chance to kick donald duck up the arse and let's face it  who wouldn't be, I think it's a bit more in depth than that.
