I had a realization that MTV, culture and its existence has a lot in common with the western world and christianity.
Many people who have grown up on MTV, or who usually dont think for themselves, need someone to tell them who to idolize based on popular demand, and if not, you are an outcast. Tell them what to believe in, and to feed their propaganda into impressionable youth minds who cant form their own opinions for the fear of being unpopular.
Same with christianity, that imposes their belief and values on those who "don't believe". Give you commands to follow, if not to the T, then you are morally insignificant, and need to redeem yourself by pleading selfishly to a god who is too busy to care. It is filled with self involved invalids who want to live in the dark ages, and who refuse to accept that the world is always changing. Motivated by fear, either it be acceptance, or fear of not being in a club with others who need 1000 year old texts to do their thinking for them. People always have to look up to something or someone, some idea, rather then looking in the mirror every morning, and accept themselves for who they are. I would rather befriend a man with a good heart, who has no supernatural preconceived ideas, then befriend a man who lives a life of hypocrisy and and moral debauchery Monday through Saturday.
