Gnostic Christianity

There was a time when another form of Christianity known as Gnosticism existed. It was very different than the Christianity that we know today. It was about "hidden knowledge" and it turned the story of Adam and Eve totally upside down. That branch pretty much died out when the Catholic Church declared it to be heretical. Texts were destroyed, and believers were killed. If you would like to read a little bit more information about it, here are a couple of pieces worth checking out. One is pro, and one is con, but both are informative. Just click on http://www.gnosis.org/genesis.html and http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06592a.htm
