What a testiment to his faith and to his children! I'm not sure I would have the strength to do it.

I believe he also has 2 small childen at home.
He refused to lie naked for a scene with J-Lo in 'Angel Eyes' because of his beliefs as well.

For those liberals who don't recognize it, this is called "character".

Jim is a guy who talks the talk and walks the walk, no doubt.

He don't wanna be a celebrity known for being known, spouting pieces of worldy wisdom an any subject to a hungry public? What is wrong with the boy?

or those liberals who don't recognize it, this is called "character". Oh, the libs recognize it all right, just as they recognize it in President Bush, Richard Cheney, and all the other people that Bore called on to resign yesterday.
They recognize it, and hate them for it. Why else would libs attempt to reduce the perception of what does not exist?

I'm sure I'll be excoriated for this view, but I think Caviezel should have taken the money and donated it to causes that he believes in. Think of the good that he could do with 70+ million dollars. He could end hunger for an entire city's worth of people. I remember thinking this when the Calvin & Hobbes creator turned down what would have been over $100 million for licensing his creations. Think of the good that one could do for that money. I'm not saying they were wrong for making the decision that they made... but if I were in the position where I had the opportunity to make many millions of dollars off of a creation I made, my moral dilemma would be what to do with the money, not whether or not to take it.
