Crede si nu cerceta, desigur

Era cat pe ce sa nu vad „Dupa dealuri”. La minutul 4 am plecat din fata televizorului si cu greu m-am lasat mai apoi induplecat s-o iau de la capat.

N-o sa vorbesc despre film, nu mai mult decat imi e necesar. Stiti, e inspirat din cazul Tanacu, unde unui popa exorcist i-a cazut victima o fata „posedata”.

La minutul cu pricina – in film – viitoarea victima intra pentru intaia data pe poarta schitului unde are sa-si piarda viata. Iar deasupra intrarii, unde Dante ar fi scris „Lasati orice speranta”, in cazul nostru scrie asa „Aici e casa Domnului. Interzis celor de alte religii. Crede si nu cerceta!”.

Prima propozitie, cea cu casa Domnului e normala la intrarea intr-o biserica. A doua nu mi se mai pare atat de normala, dar recunosc ca exista si in ortodoxism un puternic filon traditionalist – cu cat esti mai aproape de spatiul rus, al vechiului calendar, cu atat il vei simti mai puternic. Moldova e cu siguranta un bastion al vechiului ortodoxism nationalist, cel intens promovat in perioada interbelica de legionari si nu numai. Sunt destui ortodocsi convinsi ca Dumnezeu are o slabiciune pentru ei, cam cum avea pentru evrei in perioada lui Moise.

(Va aduc aminte ca, din punctul meu de vedere, crestinismul e o religie eminamente universala, in care nationalismul nu doar ca nu-si are locul, dar denota o grava neintelegere a evangheliilor, dar mai cu seama a scrisorilor lui Pavel.)

Dar nici acesta nu e subiectul textului. Abia a treia propozitie de pe poarta schitului: „Crede si nu cerceta!” – asta e cea care m-a facut sa ma enervez.

Regizorul filmului cu siguranta ca a cam iesit aici din cadrul realist. Un element minor, dar esential in a directiona atitudinea spectatorului (unul ne-roman, mai ales) in privinta bisericii. Eu unul va pot garanta ca niciunde intr-o biserica, manastire sau casa de ortodox, n-o sa gasiti acest indemn – cum, desigur, n-o sa gasiti multe alte detalii din recuzita filmului, care nu ma preocupa acum.

Dintr-un motiv foarte simplu: „Crede si nu cerceta” e o fraza care nu exista nici in textele biblice, nici in cele canonice ortodoxe. De fapt, nu prea exista nicaieri.

Pentru mine, care sunt crestin, paradoxul e enorm: „Crede si nu cerceta” – astfel se prezuma deci felul de a gandi al celui religios. Spre deosebire, desigur, de ateul curios, care cerceteaza indeaproape natura lucrurilor, aparitia si rostul lor pe pamanat.
De mirare, deci, ca tocmai „cercetatorul” ne-religios n-a avut curiozitatea sa vada ca aceasta fraza, arma cel mai des folosita impotriva habotnicului bisericos, nu este o fraza crestina.

Citeste si:  A murit Michael Jackson! :(

Nici macar nu se stie de unde a aparut ea. Unele surse spun ca ar fi rostit-o un filosof de secol II (Celsus), tocmai ca o ironie la adresa crestinilor. Altii zic ca ar fi fost resapata de un Papa medieval, Urban al V-lea, aflat in imposibilitatea de a-si argumenta opiniile. Oricum, n-o s-o gasiti niciunde in textele biblice sau in cele canonice.

Ba dimpotriva, daca aveti curiozitatea sa cercetati, veti da peste o sumedenie de situatii in care indemnurile adresate crestinilor sunt de sens opus: cauta, cerceteaza, gaseste!

Si mai e si un aspect lexical, autohton, care agraveaza situatia. „Nu cerceta”, pe romaneste, suna aspru, impinge si mai grav spre prostie decat ar face-o englezescul „Don’t doubt”. Caci una e sa nu cercetezi si sa ramai ignorant, alta e sa nu te indoiesti de ceea ce crezi, odata ce ti-ai stabilit un scop si o directie. Nu c-as fi personal de acord cu vreo forma de a nu te indoi, cum nici Descartes nu era, insa trebuie sa admiteti ca nuanta difera. Sa nu-ti pierzi credinta (increderea) nu mai e o chestiune de obscurantism crestin, ci dimpotriva, e un indemn atat de generalizat astazi, incat tine de cultura pop.

P.S:

Spuneam la inceput ca n-o sa vorbesc despre film. Am mintit un pic, nu voiam sa credeti ca e vorba despre o cronica. Insa mi se pare intrucatva trist ca un film care vorbeste tocmai despre cat de rau poate face ignoranta, lipsa flexibilitatii in gandire, lipsa responsabilitatii sociale, foloseste drept premisa un cliseu fara baza reala, punand in „gura” unui preot, fie el si unul extrem de obtuz in credinta sa, niste cuvinte din arsenalul dusmanului de clasa. Pai, domnule Mungiu, ar putea un preot fundamentalist ortodox, dupa ce spune „Interzis celor de alte religii”, sa adauge un citat de sorginte catolic papala?
E un pic de ignoranta si aici, nu?

  1. Aceasta docma am auzit-o la scoala cand se preda despre Iluminism. Oameni erau indobitociti de mari preoti care dictau totul de la a crede si a nu cerceta nimic. Odata cu apartia Iluminismului aceasta docma s-a schimbat in „Nu crede si cerceteaza”.

  2. Mai Mihai, sincer, eu nu stiam ca acesta propozitie nu e in texte biblice. Chiar credeam.
    Acum ce sa faci, probabil ca si regizorul a folosit niste simboluri, na, la care tot prostul, ca mine, sa percuteze intr-un fel sau altul.
    Asa ca eu zic ca n-a facut rau ca a crezut si n-a cercetat daca din bliblie sau nu e din biblie toata daravela. Pan\’ la urma, na, nici Vlad tepes nu era vampir si cica nici pe la Bran n-a calcat vreodata, dar noi asa il vindem…

  3. A, ca sa nu mai zic, Mihai, ca la un simplu search, gasim in Proverbele lui Solomon niste fraze aidoma cu \”crede si nu cerceta\”, dar zise cu cu cuvintele altora:
    Încrede-te în Domnul din toată inima ta şi nu te bizui pe înţelepciunea ta!

    Nu iti suna a \”crede si nu cerceta\” dar zis asa, de profesoara, nu de elev?

    Si parca aia in film aveau o manastire d-aia nesfintita si se rugau de episcop sa vina sa-i \”legalizeze\” si pe ei… Deci nu respecta ISO impus de biserica… Asa ca eu cred ca poate sa existe asa ceva.

  4. :)))
    si te-ai gandit tu sa cercetezi si sa nu crezi ce-a zis Mungiu in film:)))
    Bravo!
    Apropos, ai vazut Stapanul Inelelor? Ia zi-mi, acolo ce-ai descoperit?

  5. Inca o data, esti crestin? Ma plictidesti, nu stiu de ce te mai citesc din cand in cand.

    In that case, would you like to explain which is true and which is untrue from these:

    Is Jesus equal to or lesser than?

    JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one.

    JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

    Jesus\’ first sermon plain or mount?

    MAT 5:1,2: \”And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying….\”

    LUK 6:17,20: \”And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people…came to hear him.. And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said…\”

    Jesus\’ last words

    MAT 27:46,50: \”And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, \”Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?\” that is to say, \”My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?\” …Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.\”

    LUK 23:46: \”And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, \”Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:\” and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.\”

    JOH 19:30: \”When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, \”It is finished:\” and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.\”

    The GENEALOGY OF JESUS?

    In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary is mentioned. MAT 1:6-16 and LUK 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary and Step father of Jesus. The first one starts from Abraham(verse 2) all the way down to Jesus. The second one from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The only common name to these two lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can this be true? and also How can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.

    God be seen?

    EXO 24:9,10; AMO 9:1; GEN 26:2; and JOH 14:9
    God CAN be seen:
    \”And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my backparts.\” (EXO 33:23)
    \”And the Lord spake to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend.\” (EXO 33:11)
    \”For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.\” (GEN 32:30)

    God CANNOT be seen:
    \”No man hath seen God at any time.\” (JOH 1:18)
    \”And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me and live.\” (EXO 33:20)
    \”Whom no man hath seen nor can see.\” (1TIM 6:16)

    Judas died how?

    \”And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and hanged himself.\” (MAT 27:5)

    \”And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed out.\” (ACT 1:18)

    Biblia e o culegere de contradictii:

    http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/donald_morgan/inconsistencies.html

    Si nu exista nici macar un document istoric (in afara textelor apologetice crestine) care sa certifice existenta scumpului tau Iisus.

  6. Vad ca flacaul atoatecunoscator, cocotat pe-un norisor, la vorba scump, de-mi vine s-o iau pe camp, ma ignora. Pai bine mah, Mihai, eu vreau sa ma convertesc la crestinism si sa inteleg mai bine Biblia, care informatie e adevarata si care nu, caci, dupa cum bine vezi, se bat cap in cap, de-ncepi sa-l confunzi pe Satana cu Dumnezeu si pe Iisus si cu Antichristul, si tu taci malc si refuzi sa ma ajuti?
