The idea of a deficient Demiurge was widespread in early Christian times. Why? Between a literal reading of the Hebrew Bible and pagan polemics, the moral and authoritative standing of the creator was fiercely questioned. From Egyptian priests to Gnostic sects, from Paul to Marcion, we read the ancient Yelp reviews of Yahweh. As a bonus, I provide a spanning exposition of the Sethians, including theology, history, culture, and impact. • Astral Guest – Dr. David Litwa, author of The Evil Creator: Origins of an Early Christian Idea. • – TIMESTAMPS – • 0:00 PART 1: The Evil Creator and The Sethians: intro • 6:58 David Litwa’s book thesis • 11:56 The god of Israel as an evil god • 20:40 “Yao” in Egyptian means “donkey” • 22:32 A donkey-headed god in the Holy of Holies! • 24:04 Counter-mythologies all the rage • 27:08 Reframing the Bible in its historical settings • 30:27 Marcion’s reading of Jehovah’s actions • 33:25 Vance’s opinion: Jehvah as a mafia boss • 34:50 And then Platonists say: “God was good” • 37:09 Jehovah has a mafia-like justice • 38:29 John 8:44 and “the father, the Devil” • 43:32 Blame the Devil?
