You actually took the time to put on your quirky lit related graphic tee and made a selfie with that gay ahegao face, all just to post it on a Cantonese basket weaving forum at 1 in the morning for validation.

According to E. S. Drower, the Mandaean Gnosis is characterized by nine features, which appear in various forms in other gnostic sects:[25]:xvi

A supreme formless Entity, the expression of which in time and space is a creation of spiritual, etheric, and material worlds and beings. Production of these is delegated by It to a creator or creators who originated It. The cosmos is created by Archetypal Man, who produces it in similitude to his own shape.
Dualism: a cosmic Mother and Father, Light and Darkness, Left and Right, syzygy in cosmic and microcosmic form.
As a feature of this dualism, counter-types (dmuta) that exist in a world of ideas (Mshunia Kushta).
The soul is portrayed as an exile, a captive; his home and origin being the supreme Entity to which he eventually returns.
Planets and stars influence fate and human beings, and are also the places of detention after death.
A savior spirit or savior spirits which assist the soul on his journey through life and after it to 'worlds of light'.
A cult-language of symbol and metaphor. Ideas and qualities are personified.
'Mysteries', i.e. sacraments to aid and purify the soul, to ensure its rebirth into a spiritual body, and its ascent from the world of matter. These are often adaptations of existing seasonal and traditional rites to which an esoteric interpretation is attached. In the case of the Naṣoraeans, this interpretation is based on the Creation story (see 1 and 2), especially on the Divine Man, Adam, as crowned and anointed King-priest.
Great secrecy is enjoined upon initiates; full explanation of 1, 2, and 8 being reserved for those considered able to understand and preserve the gnosis.

>Depends what you mean by ‘believe’. Is God concerned with acknowledging the factual statement that he is real and that is all that he desires? No, as James writes, “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!” (James 2:19
Man just answer the guy's question. He didn't say belief is all you need (sufficient) he asked why belief is *necessary*.

Because books are not the size of tablet screens. Someone who reads books will be uncomfortable with a device for book reading that’s not as comfortable to hold and carry as one. Also is utterly frail due to size and width. I don’t need a reader with the advantages of ‘oooh apps, ooh notetaking oooh documents’ when I can buy a tablet for the same price and that can do these specific things vastly better; and no, the eink screen isn’t a good selling point to get a reader for these features.

>It’s clear that they hate it because they are poor
>*Hasn’t read a single argument in the thread*
I have an actual tablet for office and study work. You’re trying everything you can to justify a poor investment, when it’s really useless: People aren’t buying it. Even when they’re becoming more accessible. It’s a niche for those that like comics or want to use a reader for the office, which is a microscopic fraction compared to the people looking for e-readers for book reading.
