Why does gnosticism feel like it describes our world so much more accurately than regular christianity?

Gnosticism actually has an answer for why bad things happen to good people, or why there's cancer, or malaria, or natural disasters. Instead when you ask that of Christians of the usual "its a test from god" or "its cuz free will dummy"

>Science is where it's at. Nothing is true until valid argumentation, models, demonstrations, all the reliable things can be relied on to isolate true things as true so we can turn our back on them and expect them still to be true

It doesn't, because I've never heard someone try to explain what the fuck it is
It's simple. Jesus was a Hindu. What you now see as gnosticism is actually gyana yoga, the yoga (means unity or union afaik) of gnosis or knowledge of the third kind. This is gnosticism. All the stuff about archons and so on archons are already mentioned in the old testament koine Septuagint if you read it without Christ goggles. Jesus was a Hindu. Be born again, be twice-born as it's called in Hinduism.
Every religion except Christianity is literally true and unfalsifiable. Buddha showed us the way of concord. Shiva gave us his signs of god. And so on.
The test from God thing never made any sense to me. Why does a man need to be tempered by life on earth before an infinity in heaven? There is no great hurdle or impossible riddle to solve in God's domain, just his endless grace, so why bother suffering at all if the fruits of it are pointless?
why does god allow the demiurge to exist?
I'm not actually a gnostic so I don't know. But if I had to guess it's because God is so massive and infinite, that the Demiurge and our troubles on earth don't even register to him at a microscopic level. Our suffering lasts a nanosecond as far as he is considered, and then we return to him.
Because it's the original Christianity, the later sects revised history.
History is written by the victors.
This. The fake Christians wiped out the real Christians for being too based and not worshipping the state good enough like good little sheep are supposed to do.
