Mel Gibson Arrested For DUI

Mel Gibson was arrested in Los Angeles early this morning by the Los Angeles County Sherriff department. His bail was set at $5000. I really hate this because I know that the critics of the director will be out in full force and questioning his commitment to the Catholic faith. I personally was very effected by the Passion Of The Christ in a powerful way. But I expect to hear comments like Mel made the movie to make money and not because of a commitment to his faith. I think Christianity is held to a different sort of standards than any other religion. People tend to forget that we are all human and make mistakes. Doesn't mean you don't love God or your show of your faith is just that...a show. It just means we all make bad choices some times.

But maybe while Mel was in jail, they shaved that grungy beard he's been sporting. Deciding to grow that out was another example of Mel's tendency to not make the wisest decisions.
