Default What kind of questions would you ask someone about the religion Gnosticism?

I am doing an interview and I am wondering what others would ask a person that follows Gnosticism. Can anyone give me some examples or advice about some questions to ask please? I am looking for about 10 questions to ask, so all ideas are welcomed. Thank you.
Christian Gnostic...sorry

Er, you may want to refine that a LOT. Is it a Christian Gnostic? Pagan Gnostic? These things matter.

Do you believe that the god of the old testament is a malevolent demure, and if so, how does that effect your views of Jewish people and Judaism?

I would ask if the "G" was silent.

Ask them if they've ever experienced "nosies" and, if so, what it is like.

What? is right! I'd ask, "Say "Gnostic". Now say "Gnu". Now say "mnemonic". Now say "llama". Now say. . .

1.) How do you feel about how the Church under Pope Innocent II slaughtered half the population of France who were Gnostic as well as Gnostics for the next 400 years?

2.) If we are from a source outside the physical universe how do you propose to retrieve all lost knowledge?

3.) How do you propose to open the eyes of such lost people as the Christians and Muslims?

4.) Since the Talpiot tomb proves the Gnostic legends about Jesus were correct why don't we hear more about it?

5.) The Gnostic teacher Valentinus was prevented from becoming pope due to St. Irenaeus, are you preparing to expose some of the atrocious fables he created (Such as Jesus preaching until he was more than a hundred years old and the Phoenix proving the resurrection of Jesus etc.)?

6.) Do you think humanity is ready to face the knowledge of who we are and what happened?

7.) Since the Gnostic material found at Nag Hammadi included books by Plato do you date Gnosticism back that far?

8.) Could you support teaching Gnostic ideals in school?

9.) The Gnostics lost from the twelfth to the sixteenth century to the Christians because they did not believe in violence and were not trained in the use of weaponry; do you think a different attitude is required?

10.) What question do you want me to ask you?
