Of course, when you replied you are not jealous of a "schismatic" you knew, as you typed the words, that the charge of jealousy was not associated with his religious views or his parentage at all, but about the movie making money -- which, by the way, was the issue YOU raised about the movie, among all the possible ones.

You deflected the comment by directing the subject AWAY from the money to his religion and his father -- away from the issue YOU raised.

When somebody does something risky, says they are doing it for love in spite of all predictions it will lose money, makes several decisions which make it less, not more marketable, then -- surprise! -- it makes money, you are both irrational and cynical at a deeply personal level to say "It's about the money."

When somebody expesses a preference which is patently against the available evidence, the only place left to look to explain the preference is in the personal psychology of the speaker.

By this rational heuristic we derive two inescapable conclusions: Gibson acted from religious motives and you're jealous of the money.

Next.

You turn a discussion about Gibson into an attack on me.

Analyze that, amateur shrink.
