Manichaeism was a better religion than early Christianity; Augustine converted to Christianity because he had poor experiences with the religion's clergy and Theodosius I started actively persecuting Manichaeism shortly before his conversion to Christianity.

You misread what I stated if you think that I believe Augustine outlawed Manichaeism in Rome instead of the emperor Theodosius I as a result of the Synod of Gangra, so I'll restate my post: Manichaean monks being put to death for their religion by Roman authorities is mostly why Augustine adopted Christian beliefs and later converted to Christianity.

Please. The point is that the "praise" as issued in the context of a book blurb came out horribly back-handed, the work of a cleric/academic who doesn't interact with human beings in a sufficiently meaningful way on a daily basis so as to know how to handle these kinds of things.
