Debra Murphy is very astute: she notes the "under-the-radar" critique of current culture of death in the movie Apocalypto, which is something I did not pick up until she mentioned it. Even if the movie showed the sacrifice of children, I don't think I would have noticed. The word of God seem to have the effect of overtaking cultures that have human sacrifice - in Canaan, when the Israelites arrived - and in central America, as the movie shows; hopefully, it will do so in modern societies. As for Mel Gibson's inner demons, Mel is the one who must deal with them - with our prayers. But most of all, let us pray that he does not drink and drive. The world/Hollywood's reaction to Mel may arise from the fact that they (Hollywood) does not like someone who fights their inner demons - they probably don't like virtue, because truth hurts.
Also, Ms. Murphy: Would you mind explaining how the "Jewsuits" are related to the Zionist Occupational Government - some references would be helpful..

Greetings, ScholarChanter, and thank you for your comments.
"Jewsuits" and "Zionist Occupational Government" (a.k.a. "ZOG") are oft-quoted code phrases of white supremacists and ideological antisemites. To these people, who are frequently as anti-Catholic as they are antisemitic, the Jesuits are the head Bad Guys manipulating Jews from behind the scenes. "ZOG" usually refers both to the government of Israel and to the U.S. government, regarded by many of these people as controlled by Jews whose sole interest is manipulating the US government to support Israel and Jewish financial interests.
In my view, these are the antisemites we should be worrying about--the ones, e.g., who would have us believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy perpetrated by Israel and its allies in the U.S. government. They may not have a large base of support here in the U.S., but their websites and notions are apparently very popular in many countries of the Middle East. And I think they are far more deserving of media attention than Hollywood celebrities that spout nonsense whilst under the influence.
In other words, until Mel starts making movies that aid and abet this sort of thing, he has, as a filmmaker, my keen respect and enthusiasm, whatever his personal failings.
