Mohler takes on Elmo

Posted in Current Events  by ministerandy on August 16th, 2006
There are some good observations in this article. The orginal article is actually taken from The Los Angeles Times, but then Mohler adds his commentary. I think Elmo prefers being tickled rather than challenged in the theological realm.

Now, I have never been a fan of Sesame Street (too hyperactive, too loud, too politically correct, etc.) but until today I had never considered one of its characters to be symbolic of civilizational decline and social pathologies.

But then, a character who tells children to focus primarily on themselves just may be the great symbol for the narcissism and self-worship of our therapeutic age. Maybe it is Elmo’s fault after all. I’m convinced.
