| - | A key belief in [[Manichaeism]] is that there is no [[omnipotent]] [[good]] power. This claim addresses a theoretical part of the [[problem of evil]] by denying the infinite [[perfection]] of [[God]] and postulating the two equal and opposite powers mentioned previously. The human person is seen as a battleground for these powers: the good part is the [[soul]] (which is composed of [[light]]) and the bad part is the [[body]] (composed of dark [[earth]]). The soul defines the person and is incorruptible, but it is under the domination of a foreign power, which addressed the practical part of The Problem of Evil. Humans are said to be able to be saved from this power (matter) if they come to know who they are and identify themselves with their soul. | + | |
