The Way Of The (Mousey)Mister had a good show featuring the atheist apologist, Alex O'Conner.(Cosmic Skeptic)

How could there be an atheist apologist? There are no doctrines to apologize for.

In this instance, I am using the word as synonymous with "defense of".. The only person you will have to apologize to will be God Himself.

Wiki writes:
Psychological projection is the process of misinterpreting what is "inside" as coming from "outside".[1] It forms the basis of empathy by the projection of personal experiences to understand someone else's subjective world.[1] In its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others, breeding misunderstanding and causing untold interpersonal damage.[2] A bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target, or a person who is confused may project feelings of confusion and inadequacy onto other people. Projection incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping.[3] Projection has been described as an early phase of introjection.[4]
Study of apologetics has enhanced my world view and thinking process, exposing deficiencies as well as strengths.

Re: Phat should really learn the meaning of words he tries to use
OK. In my mind, Alex O'Connor is more in defense of Logic vs Logical fallacies. He simply likes to argue. Mr. Deity held his own, though.

In this case, the Christian apologist is projecting his own beliefs onto the atheist. Since the Christian apologist is trying to defend religious doctrines the apologist assumes the atheist is doing the same, which they are not. Atheism is not a religion and has no doctrines.
I would assert that atheism in general defends secular humanism as a superior worldview. Then again, what do I know?

It doesn't. Atheism is just the lack of belief in deities. That's it. An atheist can reject secular humanism and still be an atheist. If the title said something about a secular humanist apologist it might be closer to the truth, but even then secular humanism is not a religion nor does it have religious doctrines.

That's what i said. There are no doctrines to defend.

How about learning new stuff BEFORE you blather on about it as if you DID know what you were talking about?

But you refuse to discuss apologetics.

You dismiss all of them as goobers before I can defend the arguments. I'll start again, though. I'm not done dodging your six shooters quite yet.

How does that prevent you from defending the arguments?
