Worshiping a False God?

If you are a Christian we have been told to not worship false gods.

What I don't understand is why we are worshiping Michael Jackson like this. I admit, I watched some of the memorial tribute. First of all, he's in a gold casket. Then, we have pictures in the background and some of them have him with his arms outstretched almost looking like Jesus Christ. The speeches were all about how wonderful he was and he was the King.

Why do we put people in the entertainment business up on a pedestal? Was it really necessary?

Whether or not he is guilty of the child molestation charges is not the point of this. He was a huge influence in the 80's and 90's for music. Yes his songs will last forever. His humanitarian efforts will not be ignored either.

I just hope he's in a better place and I pray his kids will be able to live a normal life.

Now stop worshiping him like a god, and let him rest in peace.
