Apologists
August 10, 2015 at 12:35 am
I have a question for the theists out there. Who are your favorite apologists? I just wanted to know who you guys were getting your ideas from.
Some of you guys seem too smart for the average apologist, so I was wondering if you had some super genius creationists behind your belts. Don't get me wrong, not all of you seem too smart, so don't get too cocky.
Thanks!

Aquinas seems to be the one resident theists are passing off as infallible lately.

I am not a Christian but my favorite is cs Lewis. I could be wrong but he seem to have the virtue of being more honest. Plus he was a good writer.
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.

Do they really need apologetics?
"But JESUS !!!" seems to cover most everything that arises.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I read his Narnia series and throughout there were so many grammatical problems.
Concerning his theological works, he is only popular with theists because his a word saladist.

I read the screwtape letters as a Christian and quite enjoyed it.
