Why must Christian apologists tell lies?

[Atom]

Currently the most formidable Christian apologist must be William Lane Craig. I must have seen every debate that he has ever fought and there are a lot. Why am I not delighted every time I see him take his opponent apart?

Where have you seen that???

Quite a few of the more intellectual and learned atheists acknowledge that Dr. Craig wins most of his debates. This isn't an idle claim. Here is a link to an honest reviewer's assessment of Dr. Craig's arguments at Common Sense Atheism.

My personal opinion is that Dr. Craig wins a lot more debates than he would if his opponents stayed professional and didn't get distracted trying to mock and attack Christians and their beliefs. Intolerance, sour attitudes, mocking, and ugly zingers impress those who aren't thinking but don't win debates in the eyes of neutral parties. Having well presented arguments, remaining positive, and being likable goes much further.
