Lol. We do seem to agree on a great deal, which I enjoy.
The basis of Gnosticism is wisdom. Obtaining wisdom requires gathering knowledge, so studying anything and everything is on the menu. This does not mean to "take part in and become a follower" of everything.
I don't see education as something that can ever deter my faith. I have enough evidence from personal experience to know there is something beyond me, and that I am a part of it eternally. However, learning does increase my resolution of perceived reality. Giving me a "better view" of it than I would have without.
