Back when I used to work as a police dispatcher I worked with a guy who was so Christian that he earned the nickname "Deacon Dave." He didn't work out as a dispatcher but got on as a guard at the juvenile detention center where my wife's cousin works. She told me that he kept trying to preach to a kid who had threatened to kill his parents. He kept asking "Why can't we share the gospel with these kids, after all that's what they need?" He was told time and time again that they just couldn't, mainly because it's a government-run agency and the First Amendment prohibits it.
I guess he's seen one too many Christian movies or TV shows like "Touched By an Angel" where the bad person finally accepts Jesus as their personal savior and becomes good for the rest of their life. It rarely if ever works out that way in real life. I'm guessing those kids in juvenile detention would have just laughed at him.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
