Status Worship is an exaggerated emphasis on one's status rather than his actual insights, contributions, or effort.
Jesus was known to place no significance in one's status:
- "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are."[1]
In another translation the term "status" is used to describe how it meant nothing to Jesus.
Increasingly, public school textbooks teach history based the bias of status worship, misleading students into thinking that status is more important than achievement. Elected officials typically receive more emphasis than, for example, Thomas Edison, who was selected as the most important person of the last thousand years by Life magazine.[2]
