Apologetics

A branch of Christian theology devoted to the study and defense of the holy origins of scripture, as well as the divinely ordained authority of the Church alone to interpret it. To fail apologetics is a sign of intelligence.

My "F" in freshman Apologetics eventually led me to drop out of semenary and enroll in an Ivy league University.

Apologetics

Groups of bigoted religious zealots whose primary goal is to label the religions of others as, cults.

I looked at some Apologetics' web sites and every one of them was calling some other religion, if not several religions, a cult. If they really were cults, the Apologetics wouldn't have had to make such crap about them.

apologetic guffaw

Refers to where someone noisily pretends to regret an action --- such as turning off a light, splashing water, etc. --- which caused someone else momentary shock and/or outrage, when in reality said prankster was completely intentional in performing said minor atrocity, and has gotten a huge giggle out of the hilarious-to-him distressed reaction of his "victim"!

Dude #1: flips the ceiling-light off in an otherwise-darkened garage where he is fully aware that his buddy is working
Dude #2: indignantly: Yo!!
Dude #1 in a classic "apologetic guffaw" tone "Huh-hoh --- saww-rreee" gives a big grin as he flips the switch back on again.

Apologetics

No amout of mental gymnastics is going to affect the binary nature of my proposition. It is EITHER a superordinate preferentially selected for trait in a hierarchy of preferentially selected traits or it isn't. If I'm not citing studies it's because they either don't exist (YET) or I'm unaware of them. Did you look it up or do the study before you tried to rebuke me? No? If I found or did the study would you cede your point or would you make up some sophistry to ignore the results like you're ignoring me. Your position is literally implicit "No True Scottsman Fallacy." "It's not CFCT! He's just just the TRUE Scottsman! That's what women are REALLY attracted to!"

Hym "Your apologetics do not obfuscate the fact that one is stigmatized and the other is not. And YOUR emotional state is 'easily manipulated.' Under the auspices of your liberal psychology WITHHOLDING INFORMATION is emotional abuse. The imposed schizophrenia is GASLIGHTING. The stalking is A CRIME. And is literally the definition of sexual harassment in the workplace but done in a way thay affords them plausible deniability. You don't care how they interacted with me. You just don't like the response. And you don't like that I'm giving people a reason to call into question your decision making. That MAYBE... JUUUST maybe... Your selection criteria is more superficial than you would like to admit. It isn't some sort of social-trigonometry leading you to fuck the guys you're fucking. And I'm not going to engage in the violence argument until you cede that there are some situations that can only be remediated by violence (Abject tyranny, self-defense, punitive, ect). We only care about rules when people we don't like are breaking them. That applies at NON-rules as well. This applies social/behavioral norms. You don't care how people behave until someone you don't like is doing something you don't like. Find a shred of consistency in the enforcement of behavioral norms. I'll wait... I'm sure you associate with people who have violated behavioral standards you believe people should adhere to. But you let it slide, don't you? And that's all this is."
