I find this a bit odd. Mel seems to be one of the few Hollywood types who doesn't go around providing everyone with his personal point of view.

Sure The Passion of the Christ is out there but so what? Why is it any different from say, Newt Gingrich's book? And who is to say that it can't be enjoyed on an entertainment level like anything else out of Hollywood (there is a long tradition of religious themed films - 10 Commandments, The Robe, Ben Hur, etc.).

I can understand how someone might say this of someone like Michael Moore but Mel? Come on, he made a contoversial film to be sure but so what? Are you suggesting that *everything* he is likely to make or act in from now on ie either a) going to be counter to what you believe in or b) that The Passion has so scarred you that you can't even think about him any more...
