No one has succeeded I'm sad to say. He's not the only one like this, many theists appear to be dishonest so much of the time that they aren't even aware they are doing it anymore. Some of them still don't even know what an atheist is after years of being on an atheist forum. Sadly apologetics is entirely the art of deception because they have nothing to work with. It's just a matter of how honest they are about it. Usually not very.
Dumb question but what exactly is apologetics? I see that word and how it relates to the subject of religion and immediately think it means that if you are an apologetic, you are sorry about your religion or your faith and you spend much of the time trying to apologize for the contradictions and problems caused by said religion. Enlighten me please.
