	Apologetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apologists are often characterized as being deceptive, or "whitewashing" their cause, primarily through omission of negative facts (selective perception) and exaggeration of positive ones, techniques of classical rhetoric.
		There is an argument to suggest that religious apologists such as Richard Swinburne should not be described as philosophers, since by definition a philosopher has an open mind and allows a line of reasoning to lead to a conclusion, rather than beginning with a conclusion and attempting to find reasons for it.
		Among the notable apologists of the early modern era are Blaise Pascal, Joseph Butler, William Paley, Søren Kierkegaard, and John Henry Newman.

		While his characterization of the understanding, motives, and expertise of these "cult apologists" is by-and-large inaccurate and insulting, it serves the agenda of the Countercult by placing these characterizations in the public library of the Internet.
		The Evangelical Christian countercult: [I]n the context of the evangelical countercult, it seems that one does not actually have to "defend cults" to be labeled a "cult apologist." Rather, in the manner of "the one who is not for us is against us," as a second indicator simply critiquing the critics is sufficient.
		We are not going to agree in our assessments of new and controversial religious movements, and in our own personal scholarly scales, the balance of freedom of religion vs. the potential danger posed by groups or "types of groups" is going to weigh differently.

	Cult Apologists : What you should know about cult defenders - religious cults, sects and movements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Some cult apologists and their supporters (including, sadly, a handful of Christians (7)), spend much time and energy attacking the very term "cult apologist." It is telling that, for the most part, they refuse to deal with the very serious issues surrounding cult apologists.
		Cult apologists and their organizations are marketing themselves to governments and government organizations by offering their advice and/or by positioning themselves as watchdogs for religious freedom.
		Not all cult apologists are such blatant liars or have such a poor grasp of facts, but the record shows that most of them misrepresent important issues in their eagerness to defend cults.

		Closely connected with this question is the scientific study of the origin and antiquity of man, and the unity of the human species; and, as still larger subjects bearing on the historic value of the sacred Book of Origins, the compatibility with Scripture of the modern sciences of biology, astronomy, and geology.
		He insists also that it is in Christianity that the destiny of the Hebrew religion to become the religion of the world is to find its realization, and hence it is the followers of Christ, and not the unbelieving Jews, that are the true children of Israel.
		Enlarging on these ideas, the apologists contrast the logical coherence of the religious tenets of Christianity, and its lofty ethical teaching, with the follies and inconsistencies of polytheism, the low ethical principles of its philosophers, and the indecencies of its mythology and of some of its rites.

	Occam's Razor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is argued that Ockham was an intellectual forefather of the scientific method because he argued for a degree of intellectual freedom in a time of dogmatic belief.
		He can also, however, be seen as an apologist for Divine Omnipotence, since he was concerned to demonstrate that creation was contingent and the Creator free to change the rules at will.
		Thus, if God is free to make an infinity of worlds with completely different rules from those which prevail in our world, then we are free to imagine such worlds and their logical and practical consequences.

	The Apologist
		The manner in which Rayner mixes fact with fiction results in a book that is rich with symbolism and not-so-hidden messages and critiques.
		Similarly, the portrayal of the UN as an apologist institution is not too far from the mark when UN sanctions seem to do little more than enrich UN bureaucrats, entrench the rule of dictators, harm innocent civilians and sanction the validity of the most despotic states in existence by institutionalising their sovereignty.
		If one takes the blurring of fact and fiction as an attempt to give out some sort of message, it is unclear what it ultimately is. Perhaps it is that food critics should be less withering, that they should write more reviews that praise good rather than savage bad restaurants.

		The Christian apologist is the biggest liar on the planet.
		Therefore, with all the knowledge we've gained of science and biblical criticism, apologists have to outright lie just so nothing conflicts with the doctrines of their religion.
		To be fair to Christians, apologists for other religions are just as dishonest and their followers can be equally naive in trusting these lies.

		It is very easy, however, to stay in the realm of ideas and never confront unbelievers with the necessity of putting their faith in Christ.
		One apologist who was not guilty of this was Blaise Pascal, a seventeenth-century mathematician, scientist, inventor and Christian apologist.
		There was another feature of Pascal's thought that was, and remains, rare in apologetics: his understanding of the human condition as both created and fallen, and his use of that understanding as a point of contact with unbelievers.

		These days, many Roman Catholic apologists feel content simply to calculate a daily rate of growth (based on their previous adherence to the original benchmark figure of 20,000) that they can then use as a basis for projecting just how many Protestant denominations there were, or will be, in any given year.
		Hence, if Roman Catholic apologists want to argue that Protestantism is splintered into 8,196 “bickering” denominations, then they must just as readily admit that their own ecclesial system is splintered into at least 2,942 bickering denominations (possibly as many as 8,000).
		If the Roman Catholic apologist wants instead to cite 8,196 idiosyncrasies within Protestantism, then he must be willing to compare that figure to at least 2,942 (perhaps upwards of 8,000 these days) idiosyncrasies within Roman Catholicism.

		Yet the answers have become pieces of evidence in a British libel trial that litigants on both sides hope will define the parameters of debate about what many call the greatest moral crime of the 20th century.
		On one side of the fluorescent-lit courtroom stands the British author David Irving -- revisionist historian, Hitler apologist or liar, depending on whom you ask -- who does not believe the Nazis systematically killed Jews in World War II.
		They died, he says, from disease or by the hand of "rogue Nazis." Irving stands alone on his side of the courtroom, for he has chosen to represent himself in a case that both sides agree is so complicated that a judge, and not a jury, should hear it.
