“I regret using Dolly as the example for the point I was making in the article,” she told Yahoo! Entertainment Saturday. “As I wrote in the piece, I love her and think she does some incredible things for the world. We all make poor choices in how to frame things sometimes. This was one of those moments for me! Dolly is one of the few people who is beloved by all and who loves all. The world is lucky to have her.”
You don’t get to pretend that it was an error in framing your message. You meant what you said and the only thing you regret is the backlash. You picked on an angel and everyone else rightfully gave you shit for it.
The piece, titled “There’s Nothing Loving About Dolly Parton’s False Gospel,” […]
“Parton’s version of love, which includes condoning immoral sexual behavior (‘be who you are,’ she’s said), is unaligned with God’s vision for humanity,” Andersen writes.
This is not a “Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way, I just framed it wrong.” This person meant exactly what she said.
That’s the convenience of Christianity. Commit a sin, ask Jesus for forgiveness, get forgiven automatically just because you asked, commit another sin, the process repeats until you die.
The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn’t look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they came to the crucifixion, they naturally thought, and Rosewater read out loud again:
Oh, boy–they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time!
And that thought had a brother: “There are right people to lynch.” Who? People not well connected. So it goes.

“I used Dolly Parton’s name to gain infamy. I am glad that it happened, as I have been offered a one hour weekly show on NewsMax.”

You know a religion is utter bullshit when its followers use phrases like this.
Translation:
Its always weird how people can be so conceited to think that “God’s vision for humanity” perfectly aligns with “the way I want things to be done”
When you have no disagreements with god, then you are absolutely full of shit.
Funny that a so-called Christian doesn’t know how to say she’s sorry and ask to be forgiven.
She knows in her heart that Jesus forgives her because she prayed to him for forgiveness, and that’s all that’s important.

That’s not an apology.
