For twenty years we knew Mel Gibson was a vile homophobe, there was even an Advocate magazine cover which ridiculed him. Now it turns out he's as nasty an anti-semite as his whacko father, and sexist too. So much for your G*D DAMN holier-than-thou phoney speel. Your DUI and scandal couldn't happen to anyone more deserving!
I think he's hot.

I think he's an ignorant, and saggy old meat puppet.
Get a grip, underbear.

not atypical behavior for a celebrity..
For which he's apologized (though only he knows if he meant the apology or not). Alcohol makes many people say and do things they might not have with a clear head. So he's human. I find it hard to condemn a person for that. Is he a hypocrite? Perhaps. But I've never had much interest in his religious beliefs anyway, and I've not seen Passion nor do I intend to ( I really liked Mad Max, though).

But pretty atypical for someone who professes to be such a devout Christian. Nice guy.

Hmmm. Not especially atypical. I've seen many devout religious buckle under pressure, stress or chemical influence and expose their inner humanity.But pretty atypical for someone who professes to be such a devout Christian
Their own fellow believers are harsher on them, and slower to forgive them for not having maintained their own high standards than am I. My only standard is being human. Even a drunken, bigoted jerk is just being human. Can you tell I don't expect a hell of a lot from humans? :)

Some of the posters in this thread are pretty atypical of people who have only met one or a few christians and generalized the entire group.
A good number of my devout christian friends can throw down beers with the best of em.
What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
i dunno... devout christians are known to be as big a bunch of hypocrites as anyone else.. just look at how the "christian" crowd is the one most foaming at the mouth for more wars (and the coming of the rapture)..Quote by: scribbler
