Popular


Are all things popular also evil?

I think I have a tendency to think this way--to be inherently suspicious of anything that is accepted as popular. Especially if it is coupled with the attribute of "fun".

Yes. All things popular are evil...

That goes for popular people as well...

That's what my gut feeling tells me too... then again I've never been popular so it's easy for me to take comfort in my righteous obscurity. :)

Veggie Tales is the only exception.

Veggie tales are especially evil, for they teach watered-down evangelical christian philosophy as well as encourage children to anthropomorphise their vegetables (and hence, they will not eat them).

At least we don't have anything as evil in LDS culture to compare to it... but if we did, I imagine it would be called something like Living Scriptures... devilish.gif

In seriousness. I think that I do have a tendency to look askew at something that the world has deemed as popular. Part of that whole LDS indoctrination about Great and Spacious Buildings, Being in the World But Not of the World, and being a peculiar people. Many worldly obsessions may not be evil but if it takes your time, tallents, and energies away from our family and the gospel then it then becomes evil I figure.
