gnosticism was a pre christian and christian sect that was wiped out by 
the orthodox church by the 400's.  therefore, it is NOT a perversion of 
the gospel, because it's teachings existed before christianity did.  i 
think that there is a lot to be learned from christianity, but if i had to 
choose between christianity and gnosticism, i'd pick gnosticism every 
time.  it makes a helluva lot more sense to me.

who likes the gnostic notion that the christian god is quite frothing 
mad...cause if he's the only god, who is there to be jealous of? (ie, why 
shall men make no graven images if He's the only God?  that passage 
suggests the existence of other Gods...)
