CHRISTIAN FILMMAKER MEL GIBSON FLIPS OUT

I love it when God lets His children totally freak out and make asses of themselves.

;)

In case you haven't heard, Mel Gibson, the guy who made the bloodfest that was Passion of the Christ got arrested for drunk driving last Friday night. Now, I don't usually blog about stuff like this, but Mel's a Christian and, well, I'm an Atheist. I always thought that God was supposed to take care of His own if they believe in Him. I'm guessing his faith in God wavered allowing him to get drunk, hop in a car and yell anti-Jew slurs, swear words and more at the poor cop who pulled Mel over.

That did happen, by the way. TMZ.com reported on it in [http://www.tmz.com/2006/07/28/gibsons-anti-semitic-tirade-alleged-cover-up/|a July 28, 2006 article] where they detailed all of the fun.

Seriously, shouldn't God's power have been strong enough to keep Mel on the straight-and-narrow?

Really, what's with all this Christian propaganda if a guy who makes a movie like PotC can't even avoid straying once in a while?

What also cracks me up is that he spewed all that anti-Jewish stuff, yet he claimed after PotC came out (no, I'm not referring to Pirates of the Caribbean) that it wasn't an anti-Jewish movie and that he wasn't anti-Jew, either.

Now, I don't drink, so someone else will have to confirm that alcohol, in fact, removes inhibitions and does not actually make you hate Jews.

Oh yeah and another thing that I think is amusing is that TMZ.com is an AOL site. AOL is owned by Time-Warner, the company that distributed the Lethal Weapon movies. Aren't they shooting themselves in the foot here?
