Something about Apologetics.

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Apologist - a person who attempts to apologize for all the ignorance, stupidity, hatred, and contradictions contained within the biblical cannon whilst simultaneously pretending that there is nothing to apologize for.

I think that's pretty fair overall of the 'what'. The 'why' is I think a bit more complicated. I try not to attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance,stupidity and incompetence.

Reasonable enough to always suspect any high ranking Catholic cleric of ulterior motives;those aresholes are only ruthless politicians in silly clothes.


I also like this definition: "Apologist;one who defends by argument"(Concise Oxford dictionary)

Christian apologists tend to convince only other like minded Christians,especially the diverse ignoramuses we get here. However,trying to argue with a trained Catholic apologist (and I have) is like trying to argue with Zeno of Elea;you KNOW the argument is wrong,but can't quite put your finger on it at once. Believers swallow it immediately,
