Why don't you go and start a new thread?
No, his topic is more interesting. I'll cut and paste my definitions of religious liberty in another thread. But Trinity is not listening.
henry said:I just thought you meant something more concrete, like he is a knowing agent of the Masons and Jews. That's what threw me off.
I am saying that, pretty much. I don't see how he can't know. Even his little drunken speech about the Jews could have been a sort of pre-planned "revelation of the method" kind of event. Just like the film Conspiracy Theory, which admits that certain cօռspιʀαcιҽs are real, but doesn't tell you how to solve them -- Catholicism.
Not to mention that he blasphemes Christ in that film -- no Catholic should ever, EVER, use Christ's name in vain in a film. If I even said that by accident, I would be in agony of guilt, but Mel said it in a FILM for everyone to hear, setting a horrible example. Because of things like this it wouldn't surprise me if he made a pact with Satan himself, let alone the Jews, just to get his pretty mug up there.
But I know people will defend him and say maybe he was non-practicing at that point, bla bla bla, there's always a defense. Never mind that after POTC he made another bloody revenge film glorifying vigilante murder. I didn't watch it, Edge of Darkness, maybe someone can tell me if he blasphemes again. This guy never changes.
Another way people defend Mel Gibson is to say he somehow infiltrated Hollywood and made a Catholic film, he beat the Jews at their own game. This makes me chuckle a little under my breath, because at one time, this is how I thought -- I thought I was going to turn the system against the Jews and be this great film-star prophet.
Let me just say this. The Jews don't just own production. They own all the DISTRIBUTION. That means they own all the theaters where the films play, they control which films will screen in which theaters. So it's all very well that Mel Gibson paid for POTC out of his own pocket -- that doesn't change the fact that it would never have been seen if, for some reason, the Jews didn't want it to be seen. James Cameron could have made Avatar for eight billion dollars, everyone on Earth could have wanted to see it, but without that distribution, he'd be playing it on his home computer.
Now, Passion of Christ opened on 2,000 screens. How do you think that was possible, henry? Did he buy all those theaters himself? He's rich, but not that rich.
Besides, is POTC really the great Catholic film people think? Before I was Catholic, I saw bits and pieces of it and found it soulless and repulsive in the way it turns Jesus into an inarticulate slab of meat. Just the way it is filmed is ugly, and the soundtrack is loud and abrasive. There may be a place for a film that goes farther than older ones into showing what Jesus suffered, but Mel, with his sadomasochistic fixation, is the last person on Earth who should ever make such a film, in my opinion. The film comes across as if Gibson is relishing pain and suffering. The last thing I want to watch is Lethal Weapon 5: The Passion of the Mel-Christ. But I realize art is subjective, and that others are inspired by the film.
