Gnostics lose another lawsuit
SOME GNOSTICS have lost another lawsuit, this one in Utah. The court refuses to allow the group Summum to post their Seven Aphorisms in a city park where the Ten Commandments are displayed. The group says that on Mount Sinai Moses destroyed the stone tablets containing the Aphorisms because the Israelites were not yet mature enough for them. That does sound pretty Gnostic. But the world has moved on and now the Aphorisms (Principles) are online.
