  • To the apologist.

    The information you have found and bring to new light is incredible. Many in this age are biblically illiterate. Yet I see a problem. A few problems.

    1. Yokelism.
    The idea of yoke list I define as the belief that information should not be shared because the audience is perceived to be to dumb to understand. Yoke list is why more people think Bill Nye knows more on evolution than Behe. This double edged information age has hurt you Mr apologist you cringe at fundy atheism but you cringe harder at misinformation. The layman instead is enraged when he sees he has been lied to. Use the pursuit of honesty and treat people not as yokes but as students.
    2. Argumentative.
    You can quote the Kalamazoo argument till your eyes fall out but some people despise christianity not based on fact but feeling. If it feels like all you want is to argue the critic may be right to question you. This is why I respect cs lewis he is logical and sincere. It also explains my liking of many here and many other apologist.
    3. U enthusiastic or Tedious.
    We unfourtanatly are a very sporadic culture. If you bore us you may be right but you take away wonder. Faith and better understanding are wonderful and they need to be spread but jargon and saying someone was a church father is not enough. Tell us why we should care. Be funny be willing to look at the ridiculous. Thankfully many are book at this.
