Why are celebrities so weird?

What makes "famous" people feel the need to be so odd?

This news report came out and no one even blinked...

NEW YORK — Matthew McConaughey says the birth of his son will help bring a little joy to others in the world someday. The actor kept the placenta from the July birth of his son and plans to plant it in an orchard, he said in a cable news interview.

McConaughey says he hopes it will fertilize the land, a ritual long followed in several cultures.

"It's going to be in the orchards and it's going to bear some wonderful fruit," he says, according to an interview transcript. "When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river ... and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength.

"This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous."

OK, see that is just kind of odd. I have looked upon my fair share of placentas and never, I mean never, had the urge to take one home and bury it under a tree. No one asked why in the world you would do that instead of paying a landscaper to fertilize the tree, especially since he is filthy rich. Nope, people just nod and say "Hmm, that is really deep. Celebrities are SOOOO wise and worldly!"

The answer of course is that these people flat out need Christ. Because they are guilty about their wealth and that they are surrounded by sycophants who never question them and whisper sweet platitudes in their ears, they begin to think of themselves as being wiser than the average American because they are more famous than the average America. But Joe Six Pack doesn't feel the need to bury a placenta under a "placenta tree", or wear a bottle of their mate's blood in a vial around their neck or have people spray their favorite mist into a room before they enter. Celebs don't worship God because they are worshipped by others as gods among us.

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. (Romans 1:19-25)
