In a recent thread, AJ777 offered a video of a so-called doctor that proposed that christians should be "apologist".
Just what is an apologist?
From Google:
a·pol·o·gist
əˈpäləjəst/Submit
noun
a person who offers an argument in defense of something controversial.
"an enthusiastic apologist for fascism in the 1920s"
synonyms: defender, supporter, upholder, advocate, proponent, exponent, propagandist, champion, campaigner; informalcheerleader
"one of Eisenhower's better-known apologists"
Notice two things that are significant.
1) Informal cheerleader
A person that is a cheerleader in the sense that they are agog, avid, for their side. Not rational, just "pro" their side.
2) Propagandist
Basically, a liar.
Check out this pro-christian website that also recruits christian to become "apologist". They actually call it science and art even though that is the farthest from the truth.

If we, as humans, seek the truth, we cannot be influenced or swayed by the apologist. We must allow the facts to dictate what is real and true.
I always suspected christians of being apologist, actually even know that they are, but I never expected them of admitting it. Even FOX calls itself the "No Spin Zone" a blatant lie, but at least they know that spinning is dishonest.
