	Manichaeism : Manichee
		The most striking principle of Manichee theology is its dualism.
		The record is confused because medieval writers used Manichee as a synonym for heretic.
		In the case of the Cathars it seems that the Cathars adopted the Manichee principles of church organization but none of its theology.

	Manichaeism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most striking principle of Manichee theology is its dualism, a theme gleaned from the Persian religion of Zoroastrianism.
		In the 9th century, it is reported that the Muslim Caliph Ma'mun tolerated a community of Manichee.
		The Paulicians, Bogomils, and Cathars were certainly dualists and felt that the world was the work of a demiurge of Satanic origin (Cross), but whether this was due to influence from Manichaeism or another strand of Gnosticism is impossible to determine.

		Manichees were not to eat any food derived from animals, because after it was dead and, therefore, empty of Light, animal flesh was nothing but evil matter.
		The Manichees pointed to Old Testament stories that described episodes of lust, anger, violence, and deceit to support their claims that the Old Testament God was really an evil demon, not a God of Light.
		The Manichees believed that parts of the New Testament were true, but they argued that the books of the New Testament had been altered to corrupt Christ’s actual teachings, which reflected the true faith of Manichaeism.

		Manichee beliefs begin to lose their luster for him during this period, and by the end of the Book he considers himself an unbaptized Christian (a "catechumen": a beginner who is being taught the principles of Christianity; a neophyte).
		Before describing the encounter, Augustine takes the opportunity to make some points about the difference between scientific astronomy and the Manichee account of the heavens, a comparison that he was considering at the time.
		In contrast, the Manichee account (which included claims that the eclipses serve to "hide" heavenly battles) was starting to seem inaccurate.

		He also writes that as a student he was driven by a thirst for wisdom, a love of the name of Christ, and a simultaneous rejection of Christian Scripture.
		Manichaeism was a religion that seemed to have answers for most of the philosophical questions that the pagan world raised about the existence of evil—answers that, in Augustine’s view, the Catholic Church could not provide.
		Through the good offices of Manichee friends, he was appointed to a post as professor of rhetoric at the Imperial Court in Milan.

	Manicheism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Manicheism - Augustine comes across the Manichee sect in Carthage, when he goes there for his studies.
		He ends up believing strongly in Manichee doctrine for nearly ten years, until rational philosophy and astronomy persuade him that the colorful Manichee cosmology is false.
		Manichee doctrines depended heavily on visualization of the concepts of God and evil, and this dependence greatly delayed Augustine from coming to know God without imagining him.

		He was pretty clear about his idea of who was "good" and who was "evil," and whose vision should be imposed on the world and whose shouldn't.
		The 20th Century was the Century of the Manichee.
		And therein lies the problem with the modern-day Manichee: anyone who is on the receiving end of that term, "evil," will be lucky if he escapes with his skin intact.

	Notes on What's What (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		What in fact I am, if only the Manichee I think I am would allow me to know it, is the reconciliation of yes and no lived out in total acceptance and the blessed experience of Not-Two.
		Because his aspiration to perpetuate only the "yes" in every pair of opposites can never, in the nature of things, be realized, the insulated Manichee I think I am condemns himself to endlessly repeated frustration, endlessly repeated conflicts with other aspiring and frustrated Manichees.
		For Faith is the empirically justified confidence in our capacity to know who in fact we are, to forget the belief-intoxicated Manichee in Good Being.
