I think we should put a ban on all further uses of the word.

I'm really sick of apologists. They are ignorant and/or dishonest. Their arguments are always flawed. Sadly, the intended audience either can't or won't see the flaws. I made a thread challenging anyone to bring me any apologetics and I'll point out the flaws. I got only one challenger, I may have to dig the thread up again.
Their success is pretty much related to how well they hide these flaws under layers of clever sounding irrelevant bullshit. Actually, some of them don't even do that and are still doing well, I'm at a loss to explain why. Feel free to send me a private message.

Many people have no proper conception of "validity" as it pertains to arguments. To them, it is a good argument if they agree with the conclusion, and a bad one if they don't. If you want a frightening and disturbing experience, go enroll in an introductory logic or critical thinking class at your local college, and pay close attention to how your classmates are doing. The experience should be enough to make you want to drink heavily or partake of other mind-altering drugs.

Ask the same group of people to find a hidden cheeto in that classroom, and see what our brains are better suited for....eh?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I rarely read apologetics. Most of my thought is my own, although I'm sure it's all been said before and done better.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Well I don't ONLY listen to apologists because I feel that's more like only listening to one side in a court case. I read many views. Some apologists I listen/read are C.S. Lewis, Os Guinness, Ravi Zacharias, Michael Ramsden and John Lennox. On the other side I've read/listened to Hitchens, Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Nietzsche among writings of Hume/Kant.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
It would be interesting to know if there are people who became Christians as a result of the arguments of apologetics.
