Can you explain to me how you reconcile that the cult controlling the world essentially allows Christianity to continue?

Because most organized Christian sects are corrupted. Following the Bible is antithetical to most of these modern churches. They discourage you from reading, and they only have to corrupt high ranking members of an organization to corrupt it.

Also, how do you feel about gnosticism?

Gnosticism is the religion of freemasonry, Illuminati, and is a huge source of pain and suffering in this world. It’s fanfiction to justify cut throat elites stepping on your neck on their way up a ladder to nowhere. If life is a simulation, if life is just a trap by the demiurge then it doesn’t matter how cruel or evil your actions are, they’re not real right? That nihilistic approach is being spoon fed to society. Why help your fellow man? Why be honest? Why build something positive for others? It just atomizes us and dissociates us from our humanity.
