Another good response to the sad issue with Mike Guglielmucci, from Stephen Said... Neurotribe
But the question I want to ask is, will those who consume and devour Christian celebrities repent of their idolatrous behaviour? Will we collectively bring our Christian idols (entertainment paraphernalia and all of our dysfunctional behaviours and desires that it represents) to the bonfire to be burnt? Will we publicly declare our destructive desires to be the centre of everyone's attention and instead embrace a spirituality that dares to serve in obscurity?
If we don't want this to happen again, stop looking! Refuse to be entertained. Choose the wisdom that comes to you over a cup of coffee from a *nobody* to the sound bytes that come to us through the microphone, refuse to be an adoring participant in the pagan celebrity worship game. Choose to listen to, and follow him who did not think that equality with God was something to be grasped, rather he made himself nothing, taking on the form of a servant, a humble obedient servant who followed his instructions, even knowing they would result in his death.
