Certains n'hésitent pas à parler de la Bête et du mal. Pour avoir une idée du phénomène (très répandu) que nous évoquons, il suffit de visiter par exemple le site http://www.enemies.com.

The Gnostic Friends Network is a virulent anti-Christian outpouring, headlined Jesus Says Love Your Enemies. It takes the Gnostic belief that this world was the work of the Devil and turns it into a charter for Devil-worshipping that has the shrill sensation seeking of a latter-day Aleister Crowley.
Peter Stanford, "The secret world of the new Gnostics" , The Independent, March 18, 2004


...an excellent example of the extent to which Gnosticism has infused the public domain...the Gnostic Friends Network... contains some astounding artwork by “Rev Max,” the Reverend Maximus Illuminatus. On this website are... original, graphic, powerful, sexually explicit and often shocking scenes that incisively and perceptively rework Gnostic (and Christian) themes. Through the medium of graphic art, Rev Max engages in an intertextual dialogue with ancient texts AND contemporary culture. To me, this intertextuality is the larger context for... Eco’s novel (Foucault's Pendulum), The Matrix – and other recent films. Rev Max’s art calls for us to reexamine the CULTURAL RECEPTION of contemporary Gnosticism AND the ways in which Gnosticism is translated into popular media, ESPECIALLY VISUAL CULTURE.
