Walking on sunshine. Always tacky.

Friday, February 20, 2004

Just about everyone has heard the controversy over Mel Gibson's new movie, "The Passions of the Christ." Now, Gibson's dad is opening his mouth, and people are shocked by his views of the holocaust.

Now, I don't believe anyone should be castigated for a relative's view, and I don't think less of Gibson for his father's beliefs.

After a bit of research, though, I have serious doubts about Gibson because of his own words and actions.

1. Mel Gibson: $5 Mil to Fringe Church
2. Mel Gibson: Is the Old-Fashioned Tight-Ass Anti-Semitic?

Strangely enough, this man who advocates gratuitous violence, lying and cheating, not to mention: PREGNANCY OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE (insert horrified Catholic nun here), in his movies -- think "Payback" and "Lethal Weapon 4"-- he chooses to further his career, doesn't find THAT contradictory to Catholicism? How about his admitted alcohol and drug issues?

Then again, that is probably why he started his own church...to bypass such issues.
