With the bad Jew talk and the drinking did he ruin his career? Will you be able to watch the Passion of the Christ without judgement. Will you be able to watch any movie he does?

No....But the media is trying real hard to destroy it.

Gibson has alluded many times to a darker side to his personality. "I was a pretty wild boy, quite frankly," he said in one interview. "Even now when I'm trying more than I was before, I still fail every day at some level, but that's being human."
Around the time he was promoting The Passion of the Christ, he was even more explicit: "I got to a very desperate place. Very desperate. Kind of jump-out-of-a-window kind of desperate. And I didn't want to hang around here, but I didn't want to check out. The other side was kind of scary... 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."
We can now expect a lot of old questions to come back to haunt Mel Gibson: whether his traditionalist branch of the Catholic Church holds the Jews responsible for Christ's death, and whether he is not altogether too close to his eccentric father, Hutton Gibson, who has explicitly denied the Holocaust and denounced the reformist wing of the mainstream Catholic Church as a "Masonic plot backed by Jews".
Variety predicted yesterday that Gibson might have to give up on the idea of mainstream studio distribution of Apocalypto and distribute the film on his own through his company, Icon Productions.
One way or the other, he is probably in for an uncomfortable few months. His best hope is that Apocalypto turns into yet another unexpected box-office smash - at which point, in true Hollywood fashion, all will be forgiven and his tirade against the Malibu police last Friday night will be written off as just another industry indiscretion

No. I think that even though this has put Mel Gibson in the worst light possible, he will still be able to at least direct movies. He's made a ton of money with Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto is coming out soon. He's making these movies with his own money, and I think that even with Hollywood backlash, people will go see his movies.
I don't think that Gibson is interested in being in movies anymore, so he's safe there.

I don't think his career is ruined, but I will find it hard to watch anything he's a part of without passing some judgement on him.

I never did care for him since he made homophobic remarks years ago. His latest has shown his real colours and it is about time the world saw him for what he is.
