I think literal reading of the old testament is part of how people like Marcion happened. They took a look at the message of Jesus, took a look at the OT Yahweh, and had to come to, I don't like the term Gnostic Christian for this as I'd rather call it the Manichaean Christian outlook, that an evil Yaldaboth or Demiurge created the physical universe and what was passed off as the nachash was more likely Christ or Sophia. The reason I don't like to give that the full claim of the title 'Gnostic Christianity' is that I think Hermeticism is equally 'gnostic' and takes a shot at these problems from a very different direction.
I do not see it quite that way in light of Freud's and Jung's Father complex.

Especially when thinking or where God ideas come from.

A Gnostic, generally speaking, is one who is not an idol worshiper of any God or tradition and one who seeks God as Jesus, archetypal Jesus that is, asked of us.
Those who find God and do not set what they find aside and elevate the bar of expectation become idol worshipers. Gnostic Christians are perpetual seekers and evolve along with God.

From the title thought you were a female in a moral quandry about getting a boob job for yourself!
Maybe Satan is just a geeky fat boy with man tits.
And it's "Michelangelo". not "Michel Angelo".
Like most commoners in the Middle Ages he had no last name.
Just "Michelangelo".
likewise "Leonardo" was just "Leonardo". "Da Vinci" was just a nickname meaning "of Vinci" ( a town) they tacked on to distinquish him from the other Leonardos. The book should be called "The Leonardo Code".

Thanks for this.
Do you think the male female thing to be misogyny or is it slight of hand?

Been flipping through both my old college art history book, and the internet to find a real good close up of Satan in the painting in question. Havent found it yet. Will have to get back to you about this mammary question.
But as a poster above said- the whole Eden story is misogynistic.
In fact its a riff on a common ancient mythical motiff. The Pagan Greeks told of a girl named Pandora who opened a box - and all of the evil of the world spills out.
The person who does that is always a chick!
FY, and my own I- the first website I stumbled upon is entitled "Michelangelo Buonarroti".
So actually he DID have a last name. But as the first line of the text says "Unlike Leonardo, he was of noble birth". So that explains why he had a last name (unlike most of the artists of the time).
Thanks for this. Let me know if you find a better photo than the one I used.
