Which demiurge

Demiurge (literally translated as public worker) is the Platonic personification of active reason, the creator of the material universe, a subordinate god who fashions and arranges the physical world to make it conform to a rational and eternal ideal. The demiurge was later adopted by the Gnostics (a Christian sect that considered matter evil and denied that Jesus became man). They considered it one of the forces of evil responsible for the creation of the despised material world, alien to the Supreme God of goodness. In other words, their demiurge was the devil. As a worker for the people, where does Barack Omama fit as a demiurge? He hopes to create and fashion his America into a socialistic ideal. His plan, however, is irrational and unreasonable. His planned changes for us Americans would vastly alter our material world making it despicable to those who would pursue wealth, direct their own destiny and openly follow the teachings of the Christian God. Political correctness and liberalism would rule. Government would replace God as the protector of the people. Is this not evil? Barack may campaign as a Platonic demiurge but his soul resides with the Gnostics’ devil.
