apologist

An apologist is someone who argues in defense of a controversial truth, usually but not always associated with Christianity.

During slave times in the United States, an apologist would defend that slavery was all right, by citing portions of the bible where God's favorites owned slaves.

apologist

One of those annoying douches who apologizes before saying something horribly offensive, ignorant, or demeaning to you. The apology is supposed to make it nicer somehow--or they're attempting to be PC (which is annoying as well).

These type of people also lose credibility on their beliefs since it conveys less confidence about their beliefs.

I'm sorry, but I think you're going to Hell for not being baptized.

I'd like to apologize in advance but I think you're a huge, worthless douchebag.

Quit being an apologist.

Apologist

Yeah you didn't do the thing I'm mad about but you are sorry that THEY did it so YOU'RE bad!

The term "Apologist" was made up by a dumb little girl. I didn't do the thing and I didn't get anything for not doing it. I'm not sorry for other people doing things to you. That's not my role in life. It's not my job to bare the guilt of other people's actions.

celebrity apologist

Someone who holds celebrities in such a high regard that they believe they can do no wrong. When the celebrity does do wrong, the apologist defends the celebrity.

"Can you believe that #famous_person said that!?"
"He's just exercising his freedom of speech, and he probably just said it to get attention."
"What are you some kind of celebrity apologist?"
