"In my own lifetime I have seen Christianity reinvent itself like a chameleon changes colors. Because of the onslaught of skeptical arguments, more and more Christians are claiming that their faith is a "properly basic belief," and as such, it doesn't need any evidence to support it. Others like William Lane Craig are arguing that the witness of the Holy Spirit "trumps all other evidence" since it's "an instrinsic defeater of any defeaters brought against it." In effect, Christians have insulated their faith from contrary evidence. But this also means the external evidence does not have to support their faith, so why bother with apologetics at all? Why not just preach the Bible, as neo-orthodox theologian Karl Barth suggested?" - The Christian Delusion, pg. 17
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
