Celebrities are probably some of the most influential people in the world, and that is why it's so painful for Christians to see them preach about their distorted views on Christianity.

In an article on the Christian Post, guest contributor David Smith said that people don't seem to place "stringent requirements" on religious beliefs anymore, and anybody with a Twitter account or YouTube channel can easily become a preacher.

As an example, he shared Miley Cyrus' Twitter post back in 2012, when she told her followers to "forget Jesus." The Wrecking Ball singer quoted physicist Lawrence Krauss as she tweeted, "You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements...weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in stars. So forget Jesus. Stars died so you can live."

Singer Katy Perry is another celebrity who has "fuzzy" thoughts about God and the Bible. She earlier told the Rolling Stone, "God is very much still a part of my life. But the way the details are told in the Bible – that's very fuzzy for me. And I want to throw up when I say that. But that's the truth."

She even admitted that she sometimes just prays without really understanding it. "If I felt intuitively I had to pray for some situation, but I didn't rationally understand it, I just let my spirit pray for it," she said.

At the same time, the author slammed hip-hop stars Macklemore and Ryan Lewis for their song "Same Love," which backs up homosexuality and same-sex marriage. The lyrics to their song say, "Whatever God you believe in we come from the same one."

Funny guy Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover series told Relevant magazine, "The Bible has too many typos." But the actor later expressed that he wished he "knew more about the Bible."

"This list could go on and on, but you get the point: we shouldn't turn to culture to get an understanding of Christianity. After all, we go to a doctor when we're sick, not an architect. So where should we go to get a firm grasp on the Christian faith?" asked Smith.

His solution is simple - grab a Bible, find a church, then "get in it." He said that many people, such as Justin Bieber, have claimed that strong faith is manageable without a church, but Smith says he has never met a person who managed to pull it off.

"You don't have to settle for culture's superficial Christianity. God wants our understanding to be authentic and life-changing. So go to Him, not them," he said.
