Probably because 99.9% of all Christians are hypocrites. Like they say they follow Jesus' teachings but yet they are pissed off that they have to pay taxes which go toward helping the poor. Or they're pissed off at paying taxes at all when Jesus specifically said to do so. Or they know that in the bible it says to not judge others yet I have rarely met a Christian who wasn't judgmental. Or like how Jesus says to turn the other cheek if someone slaps you, but most Christians I know will fight you if you slap them. Or how Jesus said that if anyone steals your cloak, offer them your shirt as well, yet all churches have locks on them and many have alarm systems. Or like how churches are insured against acts of God. Or like how Christians say that prayer can cure illness but they end up going to the doctor anyway, and when they're cured they give prayer the credit for their cure. Or, and this is a big one, Jesus said that when you pray go into your room and shut the door, yet Christians insist on having public prayer vigils, having prayers before conducting official public government business, and telling other people they will pray for them.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
