How could his ranch be more than 300 miles away from San Jose?
The whole country isn’t 300 miles across!

The article says nothing snarky about Mel. In fact it says how “The Passion” basically made him a lot of money.

Sarah,

I couldn’t agree more that all people — from all walks of life — should come together on issues such as the environment. However, there was nothing snarky in my remark of Mel’s ‘religious passions’. It goes without saying that in interviews regarding his beliefs (and with respect, I say that they are strong views) had an impact on how people perceived him. It was all over the media. People were writing in upset and angry.

So, I would argue that his passionate beliefs have in fact changed others’ opinions about him. Whether that matters in the scheme of things is anyone’s guess — but it’s certainly factored. Unfortunate as such things may be.

so maybe you’re trying to go into the liberal environmentalist thing whole-heartedly and thus, of course, you’re going to make snarky remarks about religion. however, i do not think that what you call the pursuit of “religious passions” is something that hindered his career.

i enjoy this blog and read it daily. please do not get religious matters caught up in the fight to protect our environment. people from all walks of life — from the religious right to the liberal left — need to work together to make the human lifestyle evolve down a more sustainable path.

thanks,
sarah

Costa Rica is a lovely country I hope he behaves himself and protects the environment.
