With the tragic news of the loss of one of the queens of country music Dolly Parton on August 25th, the world responded with love ... mostly. This is a reaction video to Christian Pastor Justin Peters condemning her, via a reaction by the Mormon channel "All Those In Favor." I'm reacting to both the pastor and the Latter Day Saints Church members. This video is not just for Christians, but for any spiritual person. Live 8/29/2026.
