[Abishai100]

In the 1998 Woody Allen film Celebrity, a jaded society journalist named Lee wanders around the cream of America's celebrities and finds intimidating intellectuals, strange fashion models, and a wild movie star, leading him to re-evaluate the gravity of his own emotions.

Why do modern-day athletes take dangerous and illegal performance-enhancing steroids (something to consider during these intriguing Rio Olympics)?

There must be some spiritual connection between popularity and mental focus, which is why the Bible states that at the end of days the mysterious and hypnotic harlot of Babylon will rise to social power and draw men away from civic duties.

What are the best Biblical verses discussing the complications associated with fame and its biases?

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."
-Matthew 5 (KJV)

[Compost]

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
-Titus 2:11-14
