I just got this from a Jewish high school

student here in Dallas, with whom I’m in regular contact: I viewed Diane Sawyer’s interview of Mel Gibson last night on ABC, and as a Jewish teenager, I would like to commend Mr. Gibson on a job well-done. While I do have some problems with the movie, I found it admirable that Mr. Gibson conquered his need for the “secular utopia” and discovered his religion and became devout. His path should be a model for people of all faiths confused about religion and secularism. It was truly touching to see how sure he is about his religion, and how fervently he believes that there is more than just materialism in this world. For a movie star who symbolized secular behavior for a long time, Gibson’s turn-around is astonishing and inspiring.
