Servetus, Michael (Miguel Serveto) (1511-1553)

Spanish theologian and physician. His name in Spanish was Miguel Serveto. In his early years he came in contact with some of the leading reformers in Germany and Switzerland�Johannes Oecolampadius, Martin Bucer, Wolfgang Fabricius Capito, and probably Martin Luther. But he held views, concerning the Trinity in particular, that brought condemnation from the theologians of the Reformation as well as from those of the Roman Catholic Church. When he published De trinitatis erroribus (1531) and De trinitate (1532), the feeling of opposition was so strong that he assumed the name of Michel de Villeneuve, from the family home, Villanueva, and spent some time in Lyons, working on an edition of Ptolemy's geography and other scientific works, then in Paris studying medicine. There he is said to have seen John Calvin. He became well-known for his ability in dissection and had unusual success as a physician; he discovered that some of the blood circulates through the lungs. From 1541 to 1553 he lived in the palace of the archbishop of Vienne as his confidential physician. When (1553) he had a work setting forth his ideas of Christianity secretly printed, investigation was begun by the Inquisition. Servetus, arrested, tried, and condemned, escaped from prison. Several months later, while making his way to Italy, he was seized in Geneva by Calvin's order. There, after a long trial, in which Calvin's condemnation was a stern factor, he was burned on Oct. 27, 1553.

N-am nici unfel de reticenta in a discuta pe orice tema si orice subiet ce ar conduce spre recunoastrea unor merite ale unor personalitati apartinand unui cuent sau altuia de gandire, ori apartinand unei religii sau alteia, conditionat fiind numai de simpla motivatie-mi de a cauta oriunde acele puncte ce apropie fiinta umana indiferent de apartenenta ei religioasa, filozofica, rasa , apartenenta sexuala etc.etc.---
Daca gresesc prin omisiune ori o documentare superficiala intr-un anumit moment, accept cu bucurie completarile de rigoare ori obiectiunile intemeiate ale tuturor participantilor cat si exprimarea propriilor ganduri, opinii,critici constructive, dar si a tuturor celor ce pot contribui la pastrarea climatului de toleranta in cadrul diversitatii universale .
Daca va refeiti la Servetus ( Miguel Serveto Contesa alias Reves de la Villanueva de Sijena Huesca Aragon nascut la 29-IX-1511) teolog, medic, astronom, matematician ce a participat la reforma protestanta dezvoltand nontrinitandum Christology,......nu-i nici o problema in a va expune propriile opinii cat si meritele ce-i confera dreptul de a fi amintit ori reamintit intr-o lumina pe care o doriti alaturi de meritele sale in ceea ce priveste urmele lasate chiar pe teritoriul nostru de atazi prin tecera sa.
Daca nu ma-nsel, Sevetus, prin respingerea credintei trinitatii a incercat o revenire spre simplitatea Evanghliilor si prin excluderea trinitatii ca dogma, ar face crestinismul mai atragator pentru iudaism si islam, acestia din urma pastrand unitatea lui Dumnezeu in credinta si invataturile lor.
Urmele lasate de medicismul lui Servetus in spatiul romanesc va invit a le evoca Dv. presupunand ca sunteti cu mult mai in tema decat subsemnatul.
Va asigur ca randurile ce le veti posta, imi vor fi o lectura placuta sperand ca-i va incanta si pe cei ce vor vizita acest topic.

Numai bine !.

Mytcor,

Servetus este într-adevãr un personaj fascinant. Mãrturisesc cã m-a interesat mai mult ca teolog decât ca medic. Deºi antitrinitarianismul este acuzaþia cea mai cunoscutã (ºi de fapt ºi cea mai gravã care i s-a adus), Servetus a mai obiectat ºi botezãrii copiilor mici. Discuþia despre Sfânta Treime sau Botez însã ne-ar târî mult în afara subiectului acestui blog, aºa cã mã rezum la cele semnalate mai sus privind legãtura istoricã dintre religie ºi intoleranþã/atrocitãþi. Apreciez totodatã modestia ºi spiritul tolerant în care ai rãspuns mai sus.

Ne place sã uitãm cã, de fapt, totul în viaþa noastrã este rodul întâmplãrii, începând chiar cu întâlnirea spermatozoidului cu ovulul.
Omul l-a inventat pe Dumnezeu ca sã facã nefericirea mai tolerabilã!
Când un om este eliberat de religie, acesta are ºanse mai bune sã traiascã o viaþã normalã ºi plenarã.
Nu, ºtiinþa nu este o iluzie, dar ar fi o iluzie sã credem cã am putea gãsi altundeva ceea ce ea nu poate sã ne dea.

Omul l-a inventat pe Dumnezeu ca sã facã nefericirea mai tolerabilã


Mytcor, am ridicat de mai multe ori obiecþii în ce priveºte demersul tãu din acest forum. Nu sunt insurmontabile; nu spun cã doboarã sau cã discrediteazã definitiv ateismul, sistemul care conferã forþã întrebãrii tale (nu-mi fac iluzii), dar aceste obiecþii (pe care le recapitulez mai jos) nu au primit încã nici o replicã.

(1) Am acceptat premisa din articolul Georgianei Fefea postat de tine la început (i.e., 'toate religiile au comis atrocitãþi') nu pentru cã aº crede cã este o premisã adevãratã (dimpotrivã, nu cred, ºi pot sã-þi demonstrez cel puþin cã eseul Gergianei de istoriografie a religiilor este amatoricesc), ci de dragul argumentului (ca în matematicã), pentru a încerca sã-þi sugerez cã inferenþa sau concluzia pe care o tragi sau ne laºi pe noi sã o tragem (i.e., 'ateismul este o alternativã mai bunã') nu urmeazã logic din aceasta. Cu alte cuvinte, chiar dacã ar fi adevãrat cã toate religiile au comis de-a lungul timpului fapte reprobabile, nu înseamnã cã ateismul ar fi mai bun. Dimpotrivã, am susþinut cã ateismul este cel puþin la fel de vinovat, ºi te-am invitat sã reflectezi asupra influenþei nitcheene asupra artizanilor holocaustului, asupra crimelor stalinisite, maoiste, polpotiste sau ceauºiste, etc. (am spus chiar cã-þi fac un top 10 sau 100 de atrocitãþi comise în numele ateismului). Deci, aceste atrocitãþi au fost comise de oameni fãrã nici un (dumne)zeu, dar nu figureazã în colecþia ta - permite-mi sã speculez - deoarece ar face imposibilã tocmai inferenþa/concluzia la care vrei (tu sau Georgiana) sã ajungem (i.e., 'ateismul este o alternativã mai bunã'). Aºa nu merge. Te-am întrebat, retoric desigur, când vine vorba de atrocitãþi comise de-a lungul timpului, de ce religia primeºte palme iar ateismul scuze? Rãspunde acestei provocãri ºi vom putea duce discuþia un pas mai departe.

(2) În aceiaºi manierã, am acceptat, de dragul argumentului, nu pentru cã aº crede cã este adevãrat, argumentul de tip freudian avansat de Mihai Suhani ('religiile au la origine teama, speranþa, necunoaºterea') ºi pot de fapt sã o fac din nou acum când îl aduci pe însuºi Freud în discuþie ('Omul l-a inventat pe Dumnezeu ca sã facã nefericirea mai tolerabilã'). Însã l-am provocat pe Mihai atunci ºi te provoc acum ºi pe tine sã vedeþi cã, ºi dacã ar fi adevãrat (dar mã îndoiesc cã este), tot nu vã foloseºte la nimic, deoarece, în construcþia logicã a acestui argument, confundaþi originea (geneza) unei idei cu valoarea de adevãr a conþinutului ei. Repet exemplul pe care vi l-am dat mai devreme. Sã zicem cã un elev învãþã tabla înmulþirii de la un profesor cu o integritate moralã îndoielnicã, mincinos, alcoolic, etc. Originea/geneza noþiunii cã 2x2=4 (compromisã datoritã statutului moral al profesorului) nu demonstreazã cã propoziþia în sine este neadevãratã (nici cã este adevãratã). Deci, ºi dacã Freud ar avea dreptate cã religia a apãrut din teamã sau ignoranþã (ceea ce nu cred), asta demonstreazã doar cã originea/geneza ideii este compromisã - nu ºi cã credinþa în Dumnezeu este sau nu adevãratã. Valoarea de adevãr trebuie stabilitã pe alte criterii. Aºadar, dacã rãspunzi acestei obiecþii metodologice, putem urni încã o piatrã de moarã din drum.

(3) I-am rãspus la un moment dat lui Mihai Suhani (care afirma cã 'Dumnezeu are toate calitãþile din lume, dar are totuºi ºi un mic defect - faptul cã nu existã decât în imaginaþia credincioºilor'), ironic desigur, cã pentru ca cineva sã facã o astfel de afirmaþie ar trebui el însuºi sã aibã toate calitãþile (precum infinitatea, omniscienþa, atotînþelepciunea, atotputernicia, bunãtatea perfectã) din moment ce ºtie cã o Fiinþã infinitã, omniscientã, atotînþeleaptã, atotputernicã ºi perfect bunã, numitã Dumnezeu, nu are o calitate - anume existenþa. Numai îmbrãþiºând o epistemologie infinitã veþi putea nega cu succes existenþa unei Fiinþe infinite. Pânã atunci, vã sugerez, mulþumiþi-vã sã spuneþi doar cã nu ºtiþi dacã Dumnezeu existã sau nu.

Progresul în aceastã discuþie este posibil. Rãspunde la provocare.

Am observat si va si inteleg dintr-un anumit punct de vedere, numai ca :

1- nu prea stiu cui sa ma adresez !!!!!...d-lui banat?..d-lui adipopa ?...ori sa astept ca intre timp sa va definitivati un ID permanent, nu d-alta dar vad ca le schimbati ca pe sosete.
2-D-le -momentan- @gabipopa, textele respective apartin istoriei si daca am ales o redactare de nivel mediu am facut acest lucru deoarece doresc sa fie intelese de catre cat mai multi dintre cititorii acestui topic,- studiile stintifice realizate pe teritoriul Ro au o rezultanta clara; 60% din cei ce citesc nu prea inteleg ce-au citit, asa ca v-as ruga sa luati aminte.
4-nu ma intereseaza duelurile dintre dv.si alte persoane de pe diferite bloguri ori topice pe teme mai mult sau mai putin religioase, este prob. dv. dar va rog sa nu ma confundati pe mine cu ei, ID-ul meu va ramane tot timpul acelas.
5-am trecut cu desstula indulgenta -cred- peste sincretismele unei gandiri de sec.I-II e.n. din postarea dv.precedenta sub un alt ID dar, totusi d-le. aici nu-i vorba decat de a raspunde foarte simplu la o intrebare foarte usoara , daca se poate-i bine,daca nu, nu-i nici o problema, de unde nu-i nimeni nu cere !...n-asa?
6- v-as ruga pe viitor sa lasati de-o parte logica, logica apartine ratiunii,praxeologiei,stiintei, este in cealalta parte fata de religie de la cea boleana si pana dincolo de fontierele abstractului si-al vagului, iar daca incercati a explica cu mijloace stiintifice impresiile dv.religioase, -v-am mai spus si-o repet-, este ca si cum ai cere unui analfabet a-l citii pe Dante
7-ati obiectat pe trecutul dv.post, lipsa de referinta la Servetus, bun, am inteles si v-am invitat sa-i onorati dv.trecerilesi urmele lasate de catre Servetus prin spatiul polono-transilvanean,...n-ati facut-o !...ati lasat totul intre ape si mai vorbiti de provocari !?...bun inteles ca Servetus m-a interesat doar din punct de vedere stiintific,din pct. de vedere religios cred ca stiti destul de bine dv.care i-a fost soarta.
8-stabilirea criteriios este apanajul cercetarii stiintifice nicidecum ale filozofiilor religioase iar daca dv. spuneti ca "Freud ar avea dreptate cã religia a apãrut din teamã sau ignoranþã (ceea ce nu cred), asta demonstreazã doar cã originea/geneza ideii este compromisã"...sa-mi fie cu iertare d-le. ralatia cuza-efect isi spune cuvantul, indiferent de supozitiile unuia ori altuia rezultanta-i cuantificabila fara dubii de tagada.
9-existenta, ori non existenta Lui, va fi posibila numai atunci cand ne vom desbraca mentaitatile supermitizate ,atunci cand stiinta-si va emite judecata de valoare,-bine-nteles,daca ar dorii s-o faca- momentul misticilor o sa fie atat de apasator incat ar putea fii de nesuportat.
10-d-le cu modestie v-as recomanda un limbaj c-un fond lexical de nivel medi, lasti de-o parte semanticile si semioticile pretentioase, nu d-alta dar aici nu postam nici referate, nici sintezele ori concluziile unor studii, nici vr-o teza de doctorat ori mai stiu eu ce lucrari acaemice. Stim,..d-le !...si vom sti din ce in ce mai mult ,pana cand ne-o veti cere-o o sa va spunem negresit, numai disponibilitate de ascultare sa existe ceea ce ma cam indoiesc c-ar exista

Mytcor, 'banat' mi-a fost generat automat de sistem (bazat pe adresa mea de email). Am observat ulterior cã am posibilitatea sã modific ID-ul ºi am fãcut-o cu numele meu: Adi Popa. (Îmi cer scuze dacã acest lucru a creat vreo confuzie sau a fost important pentru cineva).

Argumentul nr. 1 însã este AD HOMINEM. AD HOMINEM înseamnã atac la persoanã. Este modul tãu de a rãspunde unui argument prin atacarea persoanei care a propus argumentul în loc sã te adresezi subiectului sau de a dovedi contrarul. De obicei, acest tip de argumentaþie este inacceptabil în exerciþiile de logicã pentru cã valoarea de adevãr a premiselor unui argument ºi maniera în care acesta se construieºte nu depind de persoana care le propune.

Iar argumentul nr. 4 se numeºte, tot în logicã, AD HOMINEM CIRCUMSTANTIAE, pentru cã, în plus faþã de faptul cã ataci o persoanã, aduci în discuþie circumstanþele sau situaþiile în care aceasta se gãseºte, ca ºi cum aceste circumstanþe ar invalida argumentul propus. Dacã ai ceva de comentat asupra acelui subiect, poþi sã o faci pe forumul respectiv. Aici, nu am citit deocamdatã un rãspuns care sã necesite un come back.

Adi


Mytcor..tot respectul meu....din toata disputa asta am invatat ceva..1. cine este Servetus..incepe sa ma fascineze si pe mine personajul, 2 ca aduci argumente printr-un "limbaj c-un fond lexical de nivel medii" si nu prin referate si doctarate academice....tocmai pentru a ne atrage "modest" in frumusetea acestor lucruri!

eu te citesc cu drag...tot timpul!

De la: mytcor, la data 2009-01-14 22:33:13din cate-mi amintesc pe moment, Servetus a murit de moarte naturala la domiciliul fortat si nicidecum ars pe rug. s-asta datorita tradarii lui Calvin,.asa c-ati stalcit-o rau de tot, mai bine taceati si filozof autentic ramaneati.


Inteligibiliatea rãspunsului coboarã sub 40%, coerenþa lipseºte cu desãvârºire, mojicia diletantã nu mai cunoaºte limite, toleranþa, doar demagogie, iar reinventarea istoriei, a la mytcor, absolut revoltãtoare! Poate ar fi mai bine sã plagiezi - aºa mãcar nu spui prostii (eventual spun alþii). Despre arderea lui Servetus pe rug (nu moarte naturalã la domiciliu) poþi citi inter alia pe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Servetus. Puþinã culturã întotdeauna stricã mai mult decât incultura.


Mytcor, tu ai memoria scurtã? Þi-o împrospãtez eu! Savureazã-þi deci incultura citind ce ai scris pe acest forum. Nu a mai rãmas în tine nici o brumã de cinste, de adevãr? ªi mai vrei sã discuþi 'Cum poate explica homo religiosus urmãtoarele atrocitãþi comise în numele religiilor?!' Mai bine discutã 'Cum poate explica Mytcor urmãtoarele atrocitãþi comise pe forum: revizionismul istoric, uitatul-de-la-mânã-pânã-la-gurã ºi furt din proprietate intelectualã.' Cã la asta numai te pricepi!

Michael Servetus

Michael Servetus Michael Servetus (1509 or 1511-October 27, 1553), a Spaniard martyred in the Reformation for his criticism of the doctrine of the trinity and his opposition to infant baptism, has often been considered an early unitarian. Sharply critical though he was of the orthodox formulation of the trinity, Servetus is better described as a highly unorthodox trinitarian. Still, aspects of his theology—for example, his rejection of the doctrine of original sin—did influence those who later founded unitarian churches in Poland and Transylvania. Public criticism of those responsible for his execution, the Reform Protestants in Geneva and their pastor, John Calvin, moreover, inspired unitarians and other groups on the radical left-wing of the Reformation to develop and institutionalize their own heretical views. Widespread aversion to Servetus' death has been taken as signaling the birth in Europe of religious tolerance, a principle now more important to modern Unitarian Universalists than antitrinitarianism. Servetus is also celebrated as a pioneering physician. He was the first to publish a description of the blood's circulation through the lungs.

Miguel Serveto grew up in Villanueva, Aragon, sixty miles north of Zaragossa. At age 14 he entered the service of Juan Quintana, a scholarly Franciscan monk. Even in his youth Servetus was struck by the fact that the doctrine of the trinity was a serious obtstacle to evangelization of the Moors and Jews. While studying law at the University of Toulouse in France, he read the Bible, which the invention of the printing press had made newly and dangerously available. He was surprised to find the trinity nowhere explicitly mentioned, much less defined, in the sacred text.

After two years at the University, Servetus was recalled, in late 1529, to the service of Quintana, who had been appointed confessor to Emperor Charles V. He was to accompany Quintana as he traveled with the imperial party to the coronation of the Emperor in Bologna, Italy. In Italy Servetus was horrified by riches of the church, the adoration accorded the Pope, and the worldliness of the priesthood. Some time in 1530 Servetus dropped out of the emperor's entourage and made his way to the Swiss city of Basel to join the Protestants. He stayed for months in the household of Oecolampadius, the local pastor and Reform leader.

De Trinitatis ErroribusHaving worn out his welcome there with constant theological dispute, Servetus moved to more tolerant Strasburg. There, in 1531, he published De Trinitatis Erroribus (On the Errors of the Trinity). If Servetus hoped his book would persuade the new Protestant establishment to re-think orthodox trinitarian doctrine, as traditionally interpreted from the fourth century Council of Nicaea through the late mediaeval Scholastics, and replace it with his own formulation, he was quickly disappointed. Though Protestants admired some aspects of Servetus' thought, they deplored many others. Moreover, they were especially defensive concerning their trinitarian orthodoxy, having no desire to call upon themselves still more Roman Catholic denunciation. The Lutheran reformer Melanchthon, commenting on De Trinitatis Erroribus, lamented, "As for the Trinity you know I have always feared this would break out some day. Good God, what tragedies this question will excite among those who come after us!"

Servetus tried the effect of a more conciliatory volume, Dialogorum de Trinitate (Dialogues on the Trinity), published the following year. But in it he neither conceded anything important to his system, nor even softened the vituperation of his rhetoric. His second volume was neither intended nor received as a recantation. His books were confiscated, and he was warned out of several Protestant towns. Meanwhile, in 1532, the Supreme Council of the Inquisition in Spain began proceedings to summon him, or to apprehend him if he would not appear before the tribunal. His brother, Juan, a priest, was sent to persuade him to return to Spain for questioning. He was terrified. He later wrote of this period, "I was sought up and down to be snatched to my death." He fled to Paris and surfaced there with a new name, Michel de Villeneuve.

As "Villeneuve" Servetus studied mathematics and medicine at colleges in Paris, then a center of religious ferment. Nicholas Cop, Rector of the University, was forced to flee the city after an inaugural address deemed too Protestant. A young student of Servetus' acquaintance, John Calvin, who may have written the address, had also to leave town and to go into hiding. Sometime during the next year Calvin risked his life to return to Paris that he might meet Servetus and respond to his theological challenges. Servetus, perhaps afraid of being seen with a fugitive, did not show up. Driven to witness for his religious cause, he yet felt unready to be its effective champion. "On this account I delayed," he recalled, "and also because of imminent persecution, so that with Jonah I longed rather to flee to the sea or to one of the New Isles."

Servetus began to support himself in France by working as an editor, first for the firm of Trechsel in Lyons and later also for Jean Frellon. For Trechsel, Servetus prepared, and also wrote the introductory notes for, two editions of Ptolemy's Geography, 1535 and 1541. With this work to his credit, he set himself up as an expert on geography and supplemented his income by giving lectures on the subject. He next prepared an edition of the Santes Pagnini's Bible, completed in seven volumes in 1545. His introduction and notes anticipate modern biblical criticism and show a marked advance in sophistication beyond that of his earlier theological writing.

Inspired by some of the medical works published by Trechsel, Servetus decided to return to the study of medicine. From 1536-38 he was a medical student at the University of Paris. He followed Andreas Vesalius as assistant to Hans Gunther in dissection. Gunther wrote that "Michael Villonovanus" had a knowledge of Galen "second to none." Servetus soon came to differ from Galen in the matter of pulmonary circulation. Galen had supposed aeration of the blood took place in the heart and assigned the lungs a fairly minor function. Servetus, by examining the wall of the heart and noting the size of the pulmonary artery, concluded that transformation of the blood, accomplished by the release of waste gases and the infusion of air, occurred in the lungs. It is not clear whether Servetus or a contemporary, unknown to Servetus, first made this discovery. Servetus was the first to publish. Although he only expressed the new knowledge as a lengthy metaphorical aside in his theological writing, he was the first person to record a modern understanding of pulmonary respiration.

In 1538 Servetus, as Villeneuve, got into trouble with the faculty of medicine, the Parlement of Paris, and the Inquisition for mixing astrology with medicine. Although he was acquitted by the Inquisition, the Parlement ruled that his published self-defense was to be confiscated and he was to desist from the practice of astrology. Servetus left Paris shortly thereafter, perhaps without a degree, to practice medicine in the area of Lyons. Around 1540 he became the personal physician of Pierre Palmier, Archbishop of Vienne.

During his twelve-year residence in Vienne, living as the inoffensive Doctor of Medicine, Michel de Villeneuve, Servetus was busy in his spare time preparing his major theological treatise, Christianismi Restitutio (The Restoration of Christianity). He also began, in 1546, a fateful secret correspondence with his old acquaintance, John Calvin. By this time Calvin, author of Institutio Christianae Religionis (Institutions of Christian Religion), 1536, and pastor and chief reformer of Geneva, was the most prestigious figure in the Reform branch of Protestantism.

John Calvin
John Calvin
Calvin's theology had included little mention of the trinitarian nature of the godhead until, in 1537, another reformer, Pierre Caroli, accused him of being an Arian. Although cleared by a synod at Lausanne, Calvin was afterwards on his guard and determined to deal severely with deviations in this area of orthodoxy. The subject, associated with unpleasant memories, was distasteful to him. Servetus, surely aware of Calvin's previous lack of clarity on the subject, bombarded him with letters insisting on unorthodox conceptions more radical than those he had presented a decade and more ago. Calvin replied with increasing impatience and asperity. Servetus sent Calvin a manuscript of his yet unpublished Restitutio. Calvin reciprocated by sending a copy of the Institutio. Servetus returned it with abusive annotations. On the day Calvin broke off the correspondence, he wrote to his colleague, Guillaume Farel, that should Servetus ever come to Geneva, "if my authority is of any avail I will not suffer him to get out alive."

Restitutio When Servetus published the Restitutio in early 1553 he sent an advance copy to Geneva. The printed text included thirty of his letters to Calvin. Soon afterward, at Calvin's behest, the identity of "Villeneuve" was betrayed to the Catholic Inquisition in Vienne. After his arrest and interrogation Servetus managed to escape from the prison. On his way, perhaps, to northern Italy where, he believed, there were people receptive to his writings, he made his way across the border to Geneva. Recognized at a Geneva church service, he was arrested and tried for heresy by Protestant authorities.

The secular officials were unable to establish that Servetus was an immoral disturber of the public peace. Nevertheless, he made damaging theological statements in the course of a written debate with Calvin. The Council of Geneva, after receiving the advice of churches in four other Swiss cities, convicted Servetus of antitrinitarianism and opposition to child baptism. Calvin asked that Servetus be mercifully beheaded. The Council insisted he should be burned at the stake.

The executionSpectators were impressed by the tenacity of Servetus' faith. Perishing in the flames, he is said to have cried out, "O Jesus, Son of the Eternal God, have pity on me!" Farel, who witnessed the execution, observed that Servetus, defiant to the last, might have been saved had he but called upon "Jesus, the Eternal Son." A few months later Servetus was again executed, this time in effigy, by the Catholic Inquisition in France.

Many Protestants approved the Genevan sentence. Others, especially in Basel, were not so sure that heretics ought to be put to death. In answer to critics, Calvin quickly put together and published, in 1554, a justification, Defensio orthodoxae fidei, contra prodigiosos errores Michaelis Serveti Hispani (Defense of Orthodox Faith against the Prodigious Errors of the Spaniard Michael Servetus). He argued that to spare Servetus would have been to endanger the souls of many. In the same year Calvin was answered by Sebastian Castellio, in Contra libellum Calvini (Against Calvin's Booklet). Castellio declared that "to kill a man is not to protect a doctrine; it is but to kill a man. When the Genevans killed Servetus, they did not defend a doctrine; they but killed a man." He said that "if Servetus had wished to kill Calvin, the Magistrate would properly have defended Calvin. But when Servetus fought with reasons and writings, he should have been repulsed by reasons and writings."

Nearly all copies of Servetus' magnum opus, Christianismi Restitutio, were destroyed by the authorities. Only three have survived. Its peculiar, unorthodox trinitarian theology, which made Servetus a hunted man in nearly every country in Western Europe, cannot be summarized simply. Unitarian scholar Earle Morse Wilbur, who translated De Trinitatis Erroribus, found the Restitutio less to his liking and passed over coming to terms with it. John Godbey, a Unitarian Universalist scholar of the Reformation, wrote that "most persons lack sufficient understanding of his views to make defensible statements about him."

Servetus rejected the doctrine of original sin and the entire theory of salvation based upon it, including the doctrines of Christ's dual nature and the vicarious atonement effected by his death. He believed Jesus had one nature, at once fully human and divine, and that Jesus was not another being of the godhead separate from the Father, but God come to earth. Other human beings, touched by Christian grace, could overcome sin and themselves become progressively divine. He thought of the trinity as manifesting an "economy" of the forms of activity which God could bring into play. Christ did not always exist. Once but a shadow, he had been brought to substantial existence when God needed to exercise that form of activity. In some future time he would no longer be a distinct mode of divine expression. Servetus called the crude and popular conception of the trinity, considerably less subtle than his own, "a three headed Cerberus." (In Greek mythology Cerberus is a three-headed dog-like creature of the underworld.)

Servetus did not believe people are totally depraved, as Calvin's theology supposed. He thought all people, even non-Christians, susceptible to or capable of improvement and justification. He did not restrict the benefits of faith to a few recipients of God's parsimonious dispensation of grace, as did Calvin's doctrine of the elect. Rather, grace abounds and human beings need only the intelligence and free will, which all human beings possess, to grasp it. Nor did Servetus describe, as did Calvin, an infinite chasm between the divine and mortal worlds. He conceived the divine and material realms to be a continuum of more and less divine entities. He held that God was present in and constitutive of all creation. This feature of Servetus' theology was especially obnoxious to Calvin. At the Geneva trial he asked Servetus, "What, wretch! If one stamps the floor would one say that one stamped on your God?"

Calvin asked if the devil was part of God. Servetus laughed and replied, "Can you doubt it? This is my fundamental principle that all things are a part and portion of God and the nature of things is the substantial spirit of God."

The devil was an important factor in Servetian theology. Servetus was a dualist. He thought God and the devil were engaged in a great cosmic battle. The fate of humanity was just a small skirmish in salvation history. He charged orthodox trinitarians with creating their doctrine of the trinity, not to describe God, but to puff themselves up as central to God's concern. Because they defined God to suit their own purposes, he called them atheists.

Servetus' demonology included the notion that the devil had created the papacy as an effective countermeasure to Christ's coming to earth. Through the popes the devil had taken over the church. Infant baptism was a diabolic rite, instituted by Satan, who in ancient days had presided over pagan infant sacrifices. He calculated that the Archangel Michael would soon come to bring deliverance and the end of the world, probably in 1585.

Dualism, millenarianism, and modal trinitarianism are not elements of the Servetian legacy which Unitarian Universalists today celebrate. Nor were they affirmed by those of Servetus' contemporaries most in sympathy with his thought, the Italians—later known as Socinians—who developed and spread an early form of Unitarianism in Poland. They took heart from some aspects of Servetus' doctrine and ignored or rejected the rest. Nevertheless, although Michael Servetus has now no real disciples and never had any, his pioneering life and the tragedy of his death did inaugurate, in a sense, the history of modern liberal religion.

It is one of the ironies of history that all the modern Unitarian churches and movements hold the memory of Michael Servetus in special honour—for every one of them developed historically from the Reformed tradition of John Calvin.

The complete works of Servetus, the Obras Completas, have been issued in Spanish and Latin in six volumes, edited by Angel Alcala (2003-2007). Many of Servetus's works are now available in English: The Two Treatises of Servetus on the Trinity, translated by Earl Morse Wilbur (1932); Michael Servetus, A Translation of His Geographical, Medical, and Astrological Writings, translated by Charles Donald O'Malley (1953); and The Restoration of Christianity, translated by Christopher Hoffman and Marian Hillar (2007). English translations of some of Servetus' Bible annotations are included in Louis Israel Newman Jewish Influence on Christian Reform Movements (1925). A bibliography of Servetus's works by Madeleine Stanton is included in in John F. Fulton, Michael Servetus: Humanist and Martyr (1953). Information on the trials of Servetus can be found in Calvin's Defensio (French, Déclaration), which is not yet available in English. Also in French is Le Proces de Servet (The Trial of Servetus), printed as an appendix to Volume 8 (with the Defensio) of Calvin's Works (Calvini Opera). This has also been made available in Spanish in volume 1 of Obras Completas. The trial before the Inquisition in France is treated in Pierre Cavard, Le Procés de Michel Servet a Vienne (1953). The Register of the Company of Pastors of Geneva in the Time of Calvin, translated by Philip Edgecumbe Hughes (1966) contains much primary documentation of the Servetus affair.

John Calvin did not treat the trinity very extensively in the first edition of Institutio Christianae Religionis (1536). He expanded greatly the section on the trinity in the edition published after the death of Servetus (1559), available as two volumes, 20-21, of the Library of Christian Classics, translated by John T. McNeill (1960). In this later version are many references to Servetus. A good explanation of Calvin's theology is found in Wilhelm Niesel, The Theology of Calvin (1956). Calvin's threatening letter to Farel is in Letters of John Calvin, volume 2, edited by Jules Bonnett and translated by David Constable (1857). Correspondence related to Servetus can be found in Calvin's Works, vols. 12-14 and 20. Castellio's reply to Calvin has been translated into French by Etienne Barilier as Contre la libelle de Calvin (1998). Another relevant book by Castellio, De haereticis (1554) was translated by Roland Bainton as Concerning Heretics (1935).

An analysis of Servetian theology in English is to be found in Jerome Friedman, Michael Servetus: A Case Study in Total Heresy (1978). Friedman contributed "Michael Servetus: Unitarian, Antitrinitarian, or Cosmic Dualist?" to the Proceedings of the Unitarian Universalist Historical Society (1985-86). Also in that issue is "Servetus and the Early Socinians" by Elizabeth F. Hirsch, who also wrote "Michael Servetus and the Neoplatonic Tradition," in Bibliothèque d'Humanisme et Renaissance (1980). George Huntston Williams's The Radical Reformation (1962, revised and expanded, 1992) contributes important perspectives on the place of Servetus amongst other branches of the Radical Reformation. Williams also wrote "Michael Servetus and a theology of nature," in the Journal of the Liberal Ministry (1964). John Godbey's "Michael Servetus," unpublished paper (c. 1987), is a valuable synthesis of current thought about the importance of Servetus in Unitarian theological history. See also Alcalá's introductions to the Obras Completas. Two bilingual monographs recently published are Ana Gomez Rabal, De Trinitatis Erroribus: A Philological Approach to Michael Servetus (2005) and Jaume de Marcos Andreu, The Influence of Erasmus on Michael Servetus's Works (2006). Papers delivered at a 450th anniversary conference in Geneva are collected in Clifford M. Reed, ed., A Martyr Soul Remembered (2004).

Roland H. Bainton's Hunted Heretic: The Life and Death of Michael Servetus, 1511-1553 (1953) was for a long time the only major modern biography of Servetus in English. A Spanish edition, translated by Angel Alcalá came out in 1973. A new English edition with a new and comprehensive bibliography and updated notes was issued in 2004. It also contains Historia de Morte Serveti (1554), a short account of Servetus' execution in an English translation by Alexander Gordon. The most recent biography is Marian Hillar, Michael Servetus: Intellectual Giant, Humanist, and Martyr (2002). Hillar also wrote The Case of Michael Servetus (1511-1553): the Turning Point in the Struggle for Freedom of Conscience (1997). Much of Earl Morse Wilbur's A History of Unitarianism: Socinianism and its Antecedents (1945)—ten chapters—is given over to the story of Servetus. Wilbur also wrote a short biographical essay introducing The Two Treatises. Charles A. Howe treats Servetus at length in the opening three chapters of For Faith and Freedom (1997). A biographical essay by the celebrated Canadian physician William Osler, "Michael Servetus," is in the collection, A Way of Life (1951). A recent monograph is Michael Servetus (1989) by A. Gordon Kinder. Even more recent is the rather unreliable Out of the Flames (2002) by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone. This is more the story of Christianismi Restitutio than of Servetus himself. There is a major modern biography in Spanish, José Barón Fernández, Miguel Servet: su vida y su obra (1970). Wilbur compiled an exhaustive bibliography of works about Servetus in A bibliography of the pioneers of the Socinian-Unitarian movement in modern Christianity, in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland. (1950).

There are statues of Servetus in rue Mouton Duvernet, Paris, France; Annemasse, Haute Savoie, France; Rue Beausejour, Geneva, Switzerland; Madrid, Spain; Zaragossa, Spain; and Villanueva de Sigena, Spain. Among other memorials are the Servetus window in First Parish Church (Unitarian Universalist) in Brooklyn New York and the painted medallion of Servetus (staring at another of Calvin) at Brookfield Unitarian Church, Gorton, Manchester, United Kingdom.

Pentru @ marioprea75....Michael Servetus

Michael Servetus Michael Servetus (1509 or 1511-October 27, 1553), a Spaniard martyred in the Reformation for his criticism of the doctrine of the trinity and his opposition to infant baptism, has often been considered an early unitarian. Sharply critical though he was of the orthodox formulation of the trinity, Servetus is better described as a highly unorthodox trinitarian. Still, aspects of his theology—for example, his rejection of the doctrine of original sin—did influence those who later founded unitarian churches in Poland and Transylvania. Public criticism of those responsible for his execution, the Reform Protestants in Geneva and their pastor, John Calvin, moreover, inspired unitarians and other groups on the radical left-wing of the Reformation to develop and institutionalize their own heretical views. Widespread aversion to Servetus' death has been taken as signaling the birth in Europe of religious tolerance, a principle now more important to modern Unitarian Universalists than antitrinitarianism. Servetus is also celebrated as a pioneering physician. He was the first to publish a description of the blood's circulation through the lungs.

Miguel Serveto grew up in Villanueva, Aragon, sixty miles north of Zaragossa. At age 14 he entered the service of Juan Quintana, a scholarly Franciscan monk. Even in his youth Servetus was struck by the fact that the doctrine of the trinity was a serious obtstacle to evangelization of the Moors and Jews. While studying law at the University of Toulouse in France, he read the Bible, which the invention of the printing press had made newly and dangerously available. He was surprised to find the trinity nowhere explicitly mentioned, much less defined, in the sacred text.

After two years at the University, Servetus was recalled, in late 1529, to the service of Quintana, who had been appointed confessor to Emperor Charles V. He was to accompany Quintana as he traveled with the imperial party to the coronation of the Emperor in Bologna, Italy. In Italy Servetus was horrified by riches of the church, the adoration accorded the Pope, and the worldliness of the priesthood. Some time in 1530 Servetus dropped out of the emperor's entourage and made his way to the Swiss city of Basel to join the Protestants. He stayed for months in the household of Oecolampadius, the local pastor and Reform leader.

De Trinitatis ErroribusHaving worn out his welcome there with constant theological dispute, Servetus moved to more tolerant Strasburg. There, in 1531, he published De Trinitatis Erroribus (On the Errors of the Trinity). If Servetus hoped his book would persuade the new Protestant establishment to re-think orthodox trinitarian doctrine, as traditionally interpreted from the fourth century Council of Nicaea through the late mediaeval Scholastics, and replace it with his own formulation, he was quickly disappointed. Though Protestants admired some aspects of Servetus' thought, they deplored many others. Moreover, they were especially defensive concerning their trinitarian orthodoxy, having no desire to call upon themselves still more Roman Catholic denunciation. The Lutheran reformer Melanchthon, commenting on De Trinitatis Erroribus, lamented, "As for the Trinity you know I have always feared this would break out some day. Good God, what tragedies this question will excite among those who come after us!"

Servetus tried the effect of a more conciliatory volume, Dialogorum de Trinitate (Dialogues on the Trinity), published the following year. But in it he neither conceded anything important to his system, nor even softened the vituperation of his rhetoric. His second volume was neither intended nor received as a recantation. His books were confiscated, and he was warned out of several Protestant towns. Meanwhile, in 1532, the Supreme Council of the Inquisition in Spain began proceedings to summon him, or to apprehend him if he would not appear before the tribunal. His brother, Juan, a priest, was sent to persuade him to return to Spain for questioning. He was terrified. He later wrote of this period, "I was sought up and down to be snatched to my death." He fled to Paris and surfaced there with a new name, Michel de Villeneuve.

As "Villeneuve" Servetus studied mathematics and medicine at colleges in Paris, then a center of religious ferment. Nicholas Cop, Rector of the University, was forced to flee the city after an inaugural address deemed too Protestant. A young student of Servetus' acquaintance, John Calvin, who may have written the address, had also to leave town and to go into hiding. Sometime during the next year Calvin risked his life to return to Paris that he might meet Servetus and respond to his theological challenges. Servetus, perhaps afraid of being seen with a fugitive, did not show up. Driven to witness for his religious cause, he yet felt unready to be its effective champion. "On this account I delayed," he recalled, "and also because of imminent persecution, so that with Jonah I longed rather to flee to the sea or to one of the New Isles."

Servetus began to support himself in France by working as an editor, first for the firm of Trechsel in Lyons and later also for Jean Frellon. For Trechsel, Servetus prepared, and also wrote the introductory notes for, two editions of Ptolemy's Geography, 1535 and 1541. With this work to his credit, he set himself up as an expert on geography and supplemented his income by giving lectures on the subject. He next prepared an edition of the Santes Pagnini's Bible, completed in seven volumes in 1545. His introduction and notes anticipate modern biblical criticism and show a marked advance in sophistication beyond that of his earlier theological writing.

Inspired by some of the medical works published by Trechsel, Servetus decided to return to the study of medicine. From 1536-38 he was a medical student at the University of Paris. He followed Andreas Vesalius as assistant to Hans Gunther in dissection. Gunther wrote that "Michael Villonovanus" had a knowledge of Galen "second to none." Servetus soon came to differ from Galen in the matter of pulmonary circulation. Galen had supposed aeration of the blood took place in the heart and assigned the lungs a fairly minor function. Servetus, by examining the wall of the heart and noting the size of the pulmonary artery, concluded that transformation of the blood, accomplished by the release of waste gases and the infusion of air, occurred in the lungs. It is not clear whether Servetus or a contemporary, unknown to Servetus, first made this discovery. Servetus was the first to publish. Although he only expressed the new knowledge as a lengthy metaphorical aside in his theological writing, he was the first person to record a modern understanding of pulmonary respiration.

In 1538 Servetus, as Villeneuve, got into trouble with the faculty of medicine, the Parlement of Paris, and the Inquisition for mixing astrology with medicine. Although he was acquitted by the Inquisition, the Parlement ruled that his published self-defense was to be confiscated and he was to desist from the practice of astrology. Servetus left Paris shortly thereafter, perhaps without a degree, to practice medicine in the area of Lyons. Around 1540 he became the personal physician of Pierre Palmier, Archbishop of Vienne.

During his twelve-year residence in Vienne, living as the inoffensive Doctor of Medicine, Michel de Villeneuve, Servetus was busy in his spare time preparing his major theological treatise, Christianismi Restitutio (The Restoration of Christianity). He also began, in 1546, a fateful secret correspondence with his old acquaintance, John Calvin. By this time Calvin, author of Institutio Christianae Religionis (Institutions of Christian Religion), 1536, and pastor and chief reformer of Geneva, was the most prestigious figure in the Reform branch of Protestantism.

John Calvin
John Calvin
Calvin's theology had included little mention of the trinitarian nature of the godhead until, in 1537, another reformer, Pierre Caroli, accused him of being an Arian. Although cleared by a synod at Lausanne, Calvin was afterwards on his guard and determined to deal severely with deviations in this area of orthodoxy. The subject, associated with unpleasant memories, was distasteful to him. Servetus, surely aware of Calvin's previous lack of clarity on the subject, bombarded him with letters insisting on unorthodox conceptions more radical than those he had presented a decade and more ago. Calvin replied with increasing impatience and asperity. Servetus sent Calvin a manuscript of his yet unpublished Restitutio. Calvin reciprocated by sending a copy of the Institutio. Servetus returned it with abusive annotations. On the day Calvin broke off the correspondence, he wrote to his colleague, Guillaume Farel, that should Servetus ever come to Geneva, "if my authority is of any avail I will not suffer him to get out alive."

Restitutio When Servetus published the Restitutio in early 1553 he sent an advance copy to Geneva. The printed text included thirty of his letters to Calvin. Soon afterward, at Calvin's behest, the identity of "Villeneuve" was betrayed to the Catholic Inquisition in Vienne. After his arrest and interrogation Servetus managed to escape from the prison. On his way, perhaps, to northern Italy where, he believed, there were people receptive to his writings, he made his way across the border to Geneva. Recognized at a Geneva church service, he was arrested and tried for heresy by Protestant authorities.

The secular officials were unable to establish that Servetus was an immoral disturber of the public peace. Nevertheless, he made damaging theological statements in the course of a written debate with Calvin. The Council of Geneva, after receiving the advice of churches in four other Swiss cities, convicted Servetus of antitrinitarianism and opposition to child baptism. Calvin asked that Servetus be mercifully beheaded. The Council insisted he should be burned at the stake.

The executionSpectators were impressed by the tenacity of Servetus' faith. Perishing in the flames, he is said to have cried out, "O Jesus, Son of the Eternal God, have pity on me!" Farel, who witnessed the execution, observed that Servetus, defiant to the last, might have been saved had he but called upon "Jesus, the Eternal Son." A few months later Servetus was again executed, this time in effigy, by the Catholic Inquisition in France.

Many Protestants approved the Genevan sentence. Others, especially in Basel, were not so sure that heretics ought to be put to death. In answer to critics, Calvin quickly put together and published, in 1554, a justification, Defensio orthodoxae fidei, contra prodigiosos errores Michaelis Serveti Hispani (Defense of Orthodox Faith against the Prodigious Errors of the Spaniard Michael Servetus). He argued that to spare Servetus would have been to endanger the souls of many. In the same year Calvin was answered by Sebastian Castellio, in Contra libellum Calvini (Against Calvin's Booklet). Castellio declared that "to kill a man is not to protect a doctrine; it is but to kill a man. When the Genevans killed Servetus, they did not defend a doctrine; they but killed a man." He said that "if Servetus had wished to kill Calvin, the Magistrate would properly have defended Calvin. But when Servetus fought with reasons and writings, he should have been repulsed by reasons and writings."

Nearly all copies of Servetus' magnum opus, Christianismi Restitutio, were destroyed by the authorities. Only three have survived. Its peculiar, unorthodox trinitarian theology, which made Servetus a hunted man in nearly every country in Western Europe, cannot be summarized simply. Unitarian scholar Earle Morse Wilbur, who translated De Trinitatis Erroribus, found the Restitutio less to his liking and passed over coming to terms with it.

O reala folosinta a unei logici analitice si-o examinare contextuala atent aplicata,v-ar fi impiedicat in emiterea eronatelor concluzii pe care le-ati enuntat.
Nici premisa de la care ati pornit in cazul G.F nu-i de bun augur pentru Dv. deoarece i-ati atribuit UN ARTICOL nu O TRADUCERE

SURSA cat si DREPTURILE DE PROPRIETATE INTELECTUALA in ceea ce priveste ARTICOLUL IN ORIGINAL, le gasiti in subtextul sau.

Nu mi-am permis vr-o data a eticheta o persoana (indiferent de: rasa, sex, orientare sexuala ,ap.religioasa sau din pct.de vedere..fizic,intelectual ,psihic,....etc. etc.) si n-am s-o fac nici pe viitor, ma impiedic tot timpul de propriu-mi caracter.

"Diversele impulsuri carora li se supun multimile pot fi, in functie de stimuli, generoase sau crude, eroice sau lase, dar ele sunt intotdeauna intr-atat de imperioase, incat insusi simtul de conservare dispare in fata lor.[...] Multimea este lesne calau, dar la fel de lesne martir. Suvoaiele de sange intru triumful tuturor credintelor , din sanul ei au curs. Nu e nevoie sa ne intoarcem la vremurile eroice spre a vedea de ce sunt capabile multimile.[...]

In iritabilitatea multimilor, in impulsivitatea si mobilitatea lor, ca si in cazul tuturor sentimentelor populare, intervin intotdeauna caracteristicile fundamentale ale neamului.

[...] Indiferent de stimulii ideologici, punctul de plecare al sugestiei este intotdeauna iluzia produsa asupra unui singur individ prin intermediul unor amintiri mai mult sau mai putin vagi, apoi contagiunea rezultata din afirmarea acestei iluzii primitive."

Stim noi oare exact cum s-a petrecut macar o singura atrocitate? Cunoastem invingatorii, cat si pe cei invinsi, dar probabil nimic mai mult. S-atunci pe ce baze putem alcatui o justificare indiferent de afinitatile pentru o ideologie sau alta?

De la: madalina_dan, la data 2008-10-22 21:11:54Nu este vorba de religie. Este vorba de cum interpreteaza oamenii religia. De exemplu Jihad-ul. Am studiat limba araba si civilizatia musulmana in facultate. Ai fi surprins sa afli cat de diferita este ideea de Jihad in islam de ceea ce se vede la televizor si este promovat de media. Ceea ce vedem si auzim este o interpretare gresita - atat a celora care comit acte abominabile in numele "razboiului sfant"cat si a celor care sufera din cauza asta. OAMENII sunt vinovati de asta, nu religia in sine. In religia ortodoxa preotul este un paznic al sufletelor si un indrumator. Sau cel putin ar trebui sa fie. Daca un preot decide sa inceapa afaceri cu banii din cutia milei sau sa dea in vileg secretele aflate la spovedanie, asta nu inseamna ca religia este de vina. Oamenii sunt de vina!


sunt convinsa de asta!

Mytcor, dacã tot faci referire la aceastã sursã care a stat la baza traducerii fãcute de Georgiana Fefea, lumineazã-ne în douã privinþe (dacã poþi bineînþeles):

(1) De ce în una dintre liste sunt 8 atrocitãþi iar în cealaltã 10?
(2) De ce crezi cã, din lista Georgianei (plagiate de tine), lipsesc atrocitãþile comise de autoritãþile romane împotriva creºtinilor din primele veacuri? (Sigur, îþi cer sã speculezi. N-ai cum sã ºtii ce a fost în mintea Georgianei. Dar poate ºtii ce-a fost în mintea ta când l-ai preluat).

Eu îþi propun urmãtoarea ipotezã:
==============================================================
Pentru a mãri impactul emoþional al listei asupra cititorilor ºi a discredita în principal creºtinismul istoric, s-a omis orice referire la martirizarea creºtinilor primului veac în numele cultului cezarului sau a politeismului.

Daca in cazul animalelor instinctul este prima miscare ce impune comportamentul animalelor, la om, acelasi impuls independent de orice reflectie-numit empiric intuitie, este dublat de factorul uneori suparator, numit constiinta.

Obiectivitatea este relativa, deoarece nu detinem controlul asupra lumii din cauza a doi termeni polari permanenti : EUL si LUMEA(exteriorul).

Putem intelege rationamentele ce au avut ca rezultat final atrocitati ? Putem analiza pur obiectiv, fara sa filtram rationamentul pe baze dogmatice religioase(chiar si neincrederea intr-o forta divina , consider ca devine o religie, cu particularitatile sale) ?

Poate vreun reprezentant al oricarei doctrine sa iasa in fata si sa ne faca o demonstratie practica a lantului cognitiv ce a avut ca rezultanta acele acte ? Sau sa ne explice care a fost scopul acelor acte ?

Sau se prefera obscuritatea ? Obscuritate-manipulare. Manipulare-putere.Obscuritate-putere ?

Astept motivatia actelor, nu ma intereseaza cate au fost, insusi gandul de a reintroduce practici medievale denota nivelul cognitiv!

Cu alte cuvinte, o listã cu 10 atrocitãþi comise de-a lungul istoriei în numele unei ideologii din care lipseºte ateismul ca ºi cãlãu precum ºi creºtinismul ca ºi victimã pune faþa în faþã nu doar ateismul contra teismului în general, ci ateismul contra creºtinismului în particular.
