These Gnostics texts speak of a cosmic injustice, if so it would make more logical sense to attribute evil or at least profound ignorance to whatever lessor being/beings perpetrated it. Perhaps that is why the hard core gnostics were adamant on this point. The other gnostics that had softer ideas about the demiurge had to say it was all part of the divine plan and not really a cosmic injustice at all. But wasn't it Sophia's fault? Not in all the tellings, in others she is not faulted at all but seen as the victim of injustice. With all these writings - up to you what you make of them :)
