Patriots and wisemen
The followers of Crkva bosanska have always been considered heretics and unmoral dualists by Vatican and the pope. They weren’t accepted by the rim catholic or Orthodox Church. They were called names like baboons. The fact that they connected evil with everything that is material, they were considered dualists and because they believed in the constant fight of good and evil. Kulin ban had always defended this organization because he believed in the fundamental right of a man to choose his religion and not only did he provide support for his people, he provided support for bogumili from Raška that had been vanquished by Stefan Nemanja. Crkva bosanska found an inspiration in religions of Egypt and Greece and they incorporated those beliefs with theirs. They believed that a man has to possess wisdom or “sofia” to find internal peace. Because they believed in the fact that everything that is spiritual will bring man joy and happiness, they were very much educated individuals. They were also brave warriors and patriots. But the real purpose of these monuments was not to brag about their personal achievements, but to spread their beliefs and attitudes on other individuals that maybe haven’t already found spiritual peace and haven’t chosen their religion yet. One more thing is that they often referred to the fact that life passes us by without us even noticing and that is very important to leave something for the upcoming generations like they did. This is one of the writings.
“If I leave my bones in some other land, I would steal dream of Bosnia.”
“You that pass, pass in peace and don’t talk about our sins. That is without purpose. Our days have been counted long ago. Our words are used, our sins mist.”
