Do you know what apologetics is?
I used to be heavy into the Silent Hill fandom, a game series with a highly-interpretive story. People (sometimes including myself) could get really into it, and get into heated, long arguments over what this meant or what that symbolized, to the point where some were convinced that there was a single, correct way to interpret everything and rabidly defended this viewpoint against all comers.
Apologetics is what would happen if these people lacked the cognitive fortitude to remember that Silent Hill is fiction.
It's why there's no point in taking theology into account for anything of substance. Theology is nothing more than fan fiction for real idiots and apologetics is the tool by which those idiots try to legitimize their fan fiction for people who didn't grow up eating paint chips.
