Being Gnostic myself I would argue that any entity that created a world of finite resources and then set living beings against one another in a competition for survival is ultimately evil. This is line with Catharism and early Gnosticism, which is the foundation of true Christianity consequently. "The idea of two Gods or principles, one being good and the other evil, was central to Cathar beliefs. The good God was the God of the New Testament and the creator of the spiritual realm, contrasted with the evil Old Testament God—the creator of the physical world whom many Cathars, and particularly their persecutors, identified as Satan.[9] All visible matter, including the human body, was created by this evil god; matter was therefore tainted with sin. This was antithetical to the monotheistic Catholic Church, whose fundamental principle was that there was only one God, who created all things visible and invisible. Cathars thought human spirits were the genderless spirits of angels trapped within the physical creation of the evil god, destined to be reincarnated until they achieved salvation through the consolamentum." //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharism "The term demiurge derives from the Latinized form of the Greek term dēmiourgos, δημιουργός, literally "public or skilled worker". This figure is also called "Ialdabaoth", Samael (Aramaic: sæmʻa-ʼel, "blind god"), or "Saklas" (Syriac: sækla, "the foolish one"), who is sometimes ignorant of the superior god, and sometimes opposed to it; thus in the latter case he is correspondingly malevolent. Other names or identifications are Ahriman, El, Satan, and Yahweh." //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism It is the Hebrew Torah\Old Testament of Judeo-Christianity that claims all other life on this planet is there for human exploitation: "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground." — Genesis 1:28...

If it is always those who refuse to be enslaved who die in every social upheaval, whilst those that would rather be slaves than die live out their lives and reproduce, does natural selection not favor slavery over freedom?
