Out of My Mind

As you reap, so shall you sow.

Mel's a radical Christian, a Catholic whose Catholicism is not very Catholic in pretty much any sense of the word. As such, a certain level of anti-everyone-elsism is part of his beliefs. Obviously not in an overt way but it's there.

Here's today's thought exercise: Is a miniseries predicated depicting the Holocaust from the point of view of Christians who help Jews likely to put a very accurate spin on what the Holocaust was about? Or more likely to focus on how strong Christian beliefs enable a couple of believers to help some Jews escape the Holocaust? Is the latter therefor likely to be historically accurate other than as a sidebar as it were?

In other words, from a historical perspective, at its most benign, who needs it?

And lets skip over "Passion" other than to say a sensitive believer would not have made a movie based on Anti-semitic medieval passion plays buts a good old bio of a(n allegedly) loving god.

So his asking Jews to help the healing is hypocritical crap.

Still, despite being a crap actor, he looks cute in his mug shot. Maybe even g@odd#m cute :)

And actually, IIRC, this is only Gibson's first run-in with the law with anti-Semitic overtones. I'm reminded, so to speak, by the accompanying graphic and by this one.

Meanwhile, the indictment is here in its glory.

And Bill Maher of all people nails it pretty well (obviously his Jewish half talking, not the good... Catholic boy half).
