I can see why you would want to move past this, but 'we' (everyone but you) has not moved on yet.
That's a footnote in the OP, not the main idea lol. I don't think anyone is saying that showing compassion to dying children is crazy... except maybe Yahweh would think that is crazy.
Actually that would be known as a secondary or supporting example.
The OP made the assertion the Jim was crazy because of his action of the set of the Passion. He further backed up his assessment by using this second example of jim's 'crazy super religious taking over common sense behaivor.'
When making an argument that attacks a person character one must have several different examples to paint the one being attacked in a negative light. All examples must show in this case a pattern of crazy behavior.
The supporting example may not have been as strong as the primary but the act of caring for terminally ill kids was used to paint Jim and his wife as being crazy.
To which I point out how 'evil' hates and wants to discredit or destroy anything truly good.

Working on the film seemed to make him a bit batty, and cause a definite uptick in his intensity. Maybe the lightning it. 
I'd guess he's pretty far from actual crazy, though. And, I definitely wouldn't consider adopting sick infants/children a character flaw.
At any rate, I hope ole' nutty Jim isn't the fraud that his buddy and brother in Christ, Mel Gibson is. Mel dropped his wife, and mother of his eight children to go go nail some hot Russian broad. Not as bad as some schmuck leaving his family in abject poverty, of course, but highly unbecoming nonetheless.
I don't think mel is a fraud for falling into sin...
I think this behavior contradicts what people think Christianity is all about, but in truth the opposite is true.
Mel knowing he is far from perfect seeking redemption is what makes him christian, not his ablity to live a perfect life.
Mel is no different than any other person who is a slave to sexual sin, and seeks redemption for it. It does not make him any more or less 'christian' in the sight of the Lord.

Mel's problems stem from accepting the Catholic heresies.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

No, it doesn't make him less of a Christian, but it does make him a raging hypocrite by any other standard; That's where the fraud comes in. Mel's the one who made the choice to yammer on about devotion and commitment.

But I really hate how celebrities and rich people, and even other people always think about adopting children from foreign countries, before they think about adopting children from their own countries. It's like the children who were born here are 'less worthy' for some reason. It's like they want to adopt someone so they can say they did this really truly great thing, and if they adopt one of the more than 100,000 kids in the US who need a home, that it's just not good enough.
Out of curiosity, how many adopted special needs kids do you have?

True story, my 7th grade english teacher married Jim Caviezel. It was long before passion of the Christ. I met him, he came to my church. I wonder if they have kinky Jesus sex.

Sure - if by "person", you mean "racist religious nut-job". F*ck him and f*ck any religion that would have him...
Come to think of it - f*ck all the others too.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Tony Two-Pants can't walk in off the street and buy himself a murder truck, can he? well... We just shipped one to Colorado that I later found out that will/is be used in the distribution of marijuana... Thankfully it legal there..
Also did one for an unconventional morgue.. Supposely it is for pets... but we got this thing back ("juice" leaking into the cab) and it smell, like something much larger than a dog was put in there..

But again it is only 'hypocrisy' If one believes that Christianity or being christian means one automatically lives a more 'moral' life...
