Mel Gibson & BabyJesus

• Absurd Inurbane Witless , • Christian Pop Culture

As many folks know middle-brow Aussie hunk Mel Gibson is making a movie about the life of Christ. It is very ambitious and even commercially risky since the dialogue will be in the original tongue (not that anyone alive know what 1st century Aramaic sounded like). Maybe there really isn't any monetary risk. The fundies are pissing themselves so excitedly that a few million of them may go see it and make it the biggest movie since Harry Potter, Spider-Man or whatever.

In skimming the blogosphere I've seen a number of innocent bloggers citing an short bit in World Nut News Daily that poor Mel is being harassed by parties unknown because he's making a movie about Jesus and repeating it as though it has passed through respectable fact-checking. It could just as easily be a bit of PR spin, paranoia or the attentions of a celebrity stalker.

People are so gullible. Well, yes, that is the theme of this weblog.

Mel Gibson may be one of them, he won't say: Vatican II: Jewish-Masonic conspiracy

Just a word to the wise. It is quite possible Mel is under God's direction in doing this film and I think people should hold their tongues before pronouncing a judgement on one of Mel Gibson's films without seeing it first. Personally, I believe this film will make history and indeed shock the artistic world. Not to mention it will have enourmous effects on the way the public views the story of Christ. My source? God. I pray. Thanks!

Richard, you may be a happily gay atheist, but the heart of your above entries seems to be spewing with hatred!

This is so hypocritical-Mel Gibson is accused of making an 'anti-semitic' movie yet no one complains that the dozens of Holocost movies will create anti-German/Anti-European hatred. Makes me wonder who the real oppressors of free speech are-Gibson or the critics?

Criminal acts were committed against Gibson and Icon. You failed to mention these facts. It appears you pack your own form of delusion. Your spewing of accusations and judgments is as witless as one can get as well as hypocritical...
