Good grief. I cannot imagine a context where “let’s say I go out every night, I meet a guy and have sex with him. Good for me. I'm not married” is an appropriate comment for a Christian. Of course, you are demanding an impossible standard (i.e., full interviews) in order to deal with an unpleasant reality.
By the way, I could cite a dozen similarly inappropriate comments. The evidence is rather overwhelming for an objective observer.
That's what all this boils down to, Joe. Context. It's not any different than someone taking one verse out of the Bible and twisting it to mean something than it does. I'm sure you know as well as I do that's someone who claims to be an authority of the Bible can manipulate others who aren't as strong in their knowledge of the Word with one verse taken out of context.
As long as people take these one-liners on Ann's out of context, they can portray her as negatively as they desire to others who don't her or her work very well.
OK, I didn't hear what Ann said, but I can imagine two contexts.
1) "Let's say I go out every night, I meet a guy and have sex with him. Good for me. I'm not married. But what we have here is a culture that says 'Marriage doesn't matter, committment doesn't matter, faithfulness doesn't matter, only sexual fulfillment matters.' That's simply not true. The sexual relationships impact all the other relationships you have in your life and you must be held to account." I could even make a statement like, "I'm not really advocating premarital sex, but I am saying there's a huge difference between fornication and infidelity."
2) "Then there's this entire entertainment industry that wants us all to say, 'Let's say ...'"
Shalom.
