Photos were posted all over the internet today of pop star Miley Cyrus and boyfriend Justin Gaston attending church with the whole Cyrus family.
I’m more than a little disturbed that a trip to church was turned into a photo opp. Not that the Cyrus family asked for the photographer to snap all those pics, but good grief. Doesn’t anyone have any respect for God? Come on, give not only the family a break, but everyone else who was at church on Sunday.
(Side note: I used to go to a church that would tape the service for broadcast on public TV. One Sunday, I was sitting in the back where I could see the monitors, and I realized that they were zooming in on people in the congregation during the service. Another time, they were taking pics for a new brochure, and during a prayer and worship time, a flash bulb went off in front of me. They were actually taking pictures during the worship service!)
Sunday services, and any time at church, should be private, for both celebrities and regular folks. Photos of the Cyrus family coming out of Sunday services don’t need to be broadcast all over the internet. It’s not a show, for goodness’ sake.
What do you think? Do you want to see pics of celebs coming out of church? Does it change your impression of them at all? Do you care who goes to church, when, where, and with whom?
