To combat critics, skeptics, unbelievers, attackers, and persecutors of the Christian faith.

Actually, he doesn't...the Bible states that we can clearly see the evidence of God based on everything that has been made, you know, like human life, the universe, stuff like that (Romans 1:20)...and if that isn't enough, then you have apologetic warriors like myself out there on the forefront providing what I'd like to call the "voice of reason" on behalf of the Kingdom of God. And if that doesn't work, then, well, it just wasn't meant to be.

Why does it need to be attacked, in that case? We are not out there defending it just to defend it, we are defending it because it is under constant attack.

The evidence is there, the apologists job is to present the evidence.

Did you say "I came to my atheism using my own fallacious reasoning"?
That's what I got out of it
