I'm surprised more people don't speak of Gnosticism here because it explains jews pretty well, actually.

I've only recently started reading the source material and I've learned that the Gnostics believe that the God in the Torah is actually an imperfect God (described as resembling a dragon) and not the true Father of everything. Jesus Christ's father is not the Torah God but the true Father of everything. Jesus Christ was trying to save humanity from the Torah God.

Seems pretty accurate to me. Many people say that jews worship the devil. Well, the Gnostics basically said the same thing in texts over 2000 years old. I've also heard the Torah God is a dragon bit before and thought it was a modern view. I didn't realize it literally was written in texts 2200 years old.

It's kind of crazy to me that the people who distrust the government or say modern Catholicism think the Romans who established Catholicism were without their flaws especially since by the time the Romans converted to Christianity, the Original Romans had almost been wiped out because of the push for immigrants by the Roman Government. It would be like if the USA converted to a new religion and a bunch of Indians who now ran the USA decided to choose which books were the right ones and which were the wrong ones of the new religion. What did the Original Romans have to say? Well, if they disagreed they were killed by the immigrant government that told everyone what was best.

Well in my experience with this with a starting point of believing in Catholicism, I have seen a lot of people advocate alternative views, but when you look at the actual alternative views you find direct conflicts with other beliefs. In other words you could independently read all these different views and conclude that Catholicism is correct in rejecting them.

For example with Gnosticism, there seems to be an emphasis on hidden knowledge for salvation, but the Scripture teaches salvation by faith and works. So someone could "independently" conclude this is a wrong viewpoint (even if they didn't conclude Catholicism was true)

Likewise with Catholicism versus orthodoxy and protestantism, one might observe there were popes since the beginning of Christianity and that most groups typically have a singular leader. Hence one might tend to independently conclude that Catholicism has an edge on being historically consistent as well as pragmatic with having a singular leader.

And so on with other conflicting beliefs or heresies.
