Having investigated Gnostic Christianity, I have to say I'm sorry, but it just seems like another denomination of Christianity that is critical of the status quo, and seeks to do better. There are many such cults branches on the tree of Christianity, and although yours seems to be very much on the liberal side, I have to tell ya, I think what we need at this time in the world is less religion, not more.
I think your "use whatever tools works for you" attitude is admirable, as is your denomination's lack of any real formal structure (from what I can see as you represent it), but it seems to me that it makes your Jesus, God, and other trappings just so much window dressing. Why bother with it at all? Tradition? Comfort? Familiarity? Why not just jettison the useless baggage, live your life of introspection and spirituality (whatever the term means to you) and be done with it?
