Photos were posted all over the internet today of pop star Miley Cyrus and boyfriend Justin Gaston attending church with the whole Cyrus family.
I'm more than a little disturbed that a trip to church was turned into a photo opp. Not that the Cyrus family asked for the photographer to snap all those pics, but good grief. Doesn't anyone have any respect for God? Come on, give not only the family a break, but everyone else who was at church on Sunday.
(Side note: I used to go to a church that would tape the service for broadcast on public TV. One Sunday, I was sitting in the back where I could see the monitors, and I realized that they were zooming in on people in the congregation during the service. Another time, they were taking pics for a new brochure, and during a prayer and worship time, a flash bulb went off in front of me. They were actually taking pictures during the worship service!)
Sunday services, and any time at church, should be private, for both celebrities and regular folks. Photos of the Cyrus family coming out of Sunday services don't need to be broadcast all over the internet. It's not a show, for goodness' sake.
What do you think? Do you want to see pics of celebs coming out of church? Does it change your impression of them at all? Do you care who goes to church, when, where, and with whom?

I don't know about hoping her groupies follow her ways. Do we really want to encourage 16-year-old girls to date 20-year-old guys? Even if the guy is supposedly living in the family home under the watchful eye of her parents?
Just because they all go to church together doesn't really give me the "stamp of approval" I'd need to be a role model for a tween girl. Or maybe I'm just cranky this afternoon.

Hi,
I admire the Cyrus family for going to church together and when you are a celebrity this is what happens. The Cyrus family did't ask for this. They are very popular. The Church is only a building and the PEOPLE are the CHURCH. You have all different types of people
attending and some can't mind their own buisness,
Thank God the Cyrus family was a t church to worship not to be
photographed, they could not help that. Some people will find anything to grip about to get gossip started and thjat is the DEVIL.
AMEN!
Sincerely,
Patsie Stinoff
May God Bless the Cyrus family!
What a petty thing to get upset about! Would you rather see Miley in wearing fashionable ripped jeans whil at church or would you rather see her half-naked in Playboy? It's a no-brainer for me. i wouldn't even care if Justin wore his trademark T-shirt to church. I am more interested in the salvation of his soul than the clothes he (or she) chose to wear. Like Pastor Stinoff, I am just glad they were in church together as a family.
Hello, I admire the Cyrus family,my 2 daughters love Myle,t.v. show and all.I think they could use some privacy.!!!! AND HAVE SOME PRIVACY!!!!!!
Good to see them all going to church, and sad that photographers have to chronical every movement they make, even more private ones like this. Hope this wasn't staged by the Cyrus family. Also, hope Miley & her BF listened well, and had regrettable thoughts about the other photos of them circulating on the internet - alone in an apartment or house in some fairly intimate shots, especially for a young girl, barely 16, and the personal shots of her semi-nude that have been leaked by someone. It also disturbs me that her mother made a statement about a year ago (when asked how she was handling Miley with all the fame and stardom) she replied that she was "modeling herself after Jessica & Ashlee Simpson's mother". She thought she had done a good job with them.
