Mani's faith Page

Mani was a good men, but he belived slavery is certain and women are bad. He said Sun is an idol, but his believers worship the Sun. His religion is established from Christianism, Zarathustrism and Buddhism. He was not Christe or anti-Christe. His religion is a straight way to Islam where Moslim converters are working. So, their agents say good things about Manicheism.

Three religions

  1. What Jesus said? Love God,  and your neighbour as yourself.
  2. What Buddha said? Be a good man without sins and contacts to become nothing.
  3. What Zarathustra said? Good and bad powers fight within us, and we decide what side is simpatic at the moment.

Base teachings

Mani applicated two mythologies: Mesopotamian and Iranic. Mythe of creation: prince of darkness wants to attack Empire Of Light. First man is created to fight, but he was catched. New fights, new creations. Then demons create Adam and Eve. So, sex is ugly, and bodies are jails of light, so, birth s bad, it s a new jail. Light will be free by spiritual life.

Death of Mani

He is murdered by Persian Empire. That horrible event was ordered by lobby of Zarathustrist magis. He was flayed alive, and he died. His leather was put in by straw and put onto a cross. (Nt only) Finno-Ugric men thinked or think also nowadays: Poor Mani!
