Oprahism

Oprah Winfrey - one of the world's most influential and richest woman, and to some, she's the modern spiritual icon that they've looked up to.

Spiritual icon

In 2002, Christianity Today published an article called "The Church of O" in which they concluded that Winfrey had emerged as an influential spiritual leader. "Since 1994, when she abandoned traditional talk-show fare for more edifying content, and 1998, when she began 'Change Your Life TV', Oprah's most significant role has become that of spiritual leader. To her audience of more than 22 million mostly female viewers, she has become a postmodern priestess—an icon of church-free spirituality."^[88] The sentiment was seconded by Marcia Z. Nelson in her book The Gospel According to Oprah.^[89] On the season premier of Winfrey's 13th season Roseanne Barr told Winfrey "you're the African Mother Goddess of us all" inspiring much enthusiasm from the studio audience. The animated series Futurama alluded to her spiritual influence by suggesting that, a thousand years from now, a religion known as "Oprahism" exists.

The scary fact is that, she claims that she is a Christian, yet denies that Jesus is the only way. Instead, she believes that Jesus died on the cross so that we can live by the same Christ consciousness as He did. Personally, I don't care what she thinks, but what I care is the subtle influence that has psyched the minds of many believers and non-believers in the world. And at this time, the urgent need to stand strong in the Word of God is even more paramount.
