Let him believe what he wants. I honestly don't care. There are a lot of Protestants who believe he's not going, either. My salvation does not depend on the opinion of Mel Gibson, my salvation depends on the grace of God and on that I'll stand firm.

This is just a media attempt to hurt the film and I ask everyone to avert their eyes from this sorry scene.

Gibson also said in the interview that he was nearly suicidal before he made his controversial film. “I got to a very desperate place. Very desperate. Kind of jump-out-of-a-window kind of desperate,” he said in the interview. “And I didn’t want to hang around here, but I didn’t want to check out. The other side was kind of scary. And I don’t like heights, anyway. But when you get to that point where you don’t want to live, and you don’t want to die, it’s a desperate, horrible place to be. And I just hit my knees. And I had to use ‘The Passion of the Christ’ to heal my wounds.”

This is Mel Gibson, in his own words, talking about his film just before it debuts. If it hurts the film it is because of what he says about what he believes. This is who he is, warts and all. Some people are uncomfortable with what he believes and understandably so.
