Every human attempt to create heaven on earth ends by creating hell. The coming of the heavenly kingdom to earth is an answer to fervent prayer, not the reward for a utopian program.
Any thoughts on the strange question of which political projects, if any, are to be considered as the successors of Gnosticism? This has been asserted against both Marxism (which seems compelling and explanatory) and Christian Nationalism (which seems to depend on a strawman version of CN).
Great tweet.
As usual, etymology tells it all. Utopia=no place.
