WTF is apologetics? You get paid to say "sorry" a lot?

Ah good, an untainted mind from their clutches. Think of them as a christian lawyer to prove God's existence.

Lucrative as it may be, I think it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to succeed as an apologist without totally sacrificing your personal integrity. The professional apologists I know of (Geisler, Craig, Ross, Hovind, Sarfati, and more) are all either monumentally ignorant or simply liars. Which depends on how charitible I'm feeling at the moment.
 
I'm still confused about why people would want to get into this kind of field... seems border line evangelical/preacher to me
 
That's ridiculous. Tell him to get a religious job that's actually useful and not retarded, like preaching, or ministering, or fund-raising for a local church or something.

Logically proving faith? I've never heard of a bigger, more colossally idiotic waste of time.
