Greatest I am said:
I do not believe in the Christian God, I am a Gnostic Christian
What does that actually mean? Do you perhaps have a catechism or an exposition of your faith you can point me towards?
I see your distaste of God as presented in the Old Testament and various related issues but I'm finding that I don't quite know where you're coming from.
What is a Gnostic Christian?
Because of our affinity to Jewish Kabbala, many think, as I do that we were the original Catholics as we are Universalists and catholic means universal. Today's Catholics are not Universalists and that indicates to me that they were the child religion that turned on the parent religion the moment Constantine bought them and pushed his theology into it.
Who came first does not really matter to me though. What maters to me is morals and Gnostic Christian morality is way superior to what Christianity stands for.
Gnostic Christians are just emerging now and to know our policies you would have to ask the individuals. There are likely as many flavors of Gnostics Christians as there are Christian sects and you guys are all over the place.
Gnostic Christians refused to lock up our free thinking to go to the literalism of just your four main gospels and that is why Catholics murdered us and burned our scripture.
Here is a general set of beliefs but asking is better.

There are other sets of beliefs out there but some I deny completely. As I said, better to ask.
I push this set of the beliefs that Jesus taught.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
I am brethren to Jesus. Consider doing the same.

When you say "consider doing the same", it's proselytism. Therefore, this too will be added to the report.
