"I don’t know why it was so hard to admit that the Demiurge can be described as evil."
I never said he wasn't, you're just too stupid tounderstand what I'm saying. The demiurge isn't the creator. Let's use an analogy. Let's say you have a program on the computer, like a virus, who's job is to create a bunch of trash and be evil. Now this program thinks it's god,thinks it's the creator. Great. But it'snot,the real god, the real creator, is somewhere far faraway. Quit calling him the creator. The only thing he may have even created is the material world, andnot even all of that,the material world was here before he came here. The story of the demiurge goes that sophia's (Achamoth) daughter merged with matter and chaos and out came the demiurge, hence he created nothing. Only formed, like the word demiurge implies sinceit was originally used to indicate craftsmen. I don't know of you know this, but sophia is the LOWEST of the emanantions of god, which makes the demiurge lower than the lowest of the low. "The logos".
Like i said, most of the demiurge story is more of an allegory than anything,just like most of mythology. The demiurge is a bullshit being, by his very nature. Nobody should care about him, he's so far from God and the source of things and the CREATOR that he should be dismissed as a child having a tantrum. Talk about something with a point.
The idea of the demiurge was taken from Plato, Timaeus. Go read. i probablywon't talk to you anymore. Good day.
