The apologist’s evening prayer

[drumdude]

From all my lame defeats and oh! much more
From all the victories that I seemed to score;
From cleverness shot forth on Thy behalf
At which, while angels weep, the audience laugh;
From all my proofs of Thy divinity,
Thou, who wouldst give no sign, deliver me.

Thoughts are but coins. Let me not trust, instead
Of Thee, their thin-worn image of Thy head.
From all my thoughts, even from my thoughts of Thee,
O thou fair Silence, fall, and set me free.
Lord of the narrow gate and the needle’s eye,
Take from me all my trumpery lest I die.

It seems to me CS Lewis belongs to a much higher tier of men than the current Christian and Mormon apologists belong to. Can you imagine a world where DCP doesn’t get his daily validation from his blog? Where Kwaku doesn’t go viral on YouTube? Where Robert Boylan spends the evening reading rather than bashing transgender women?

If a God, even Mormon God exists, he is surely weeping over his most strident defenders of the faith.

If the church is truly led by God’s prophet, seer and revelator, the Apostles and General Authorities, then why are there self-appointed mopologists? The Afore’s existence proves the church is a fraud.

The mopologists don’t have any authority, so what's the point, besides obfuscating the facts and gaslighting the faithful?

Never mind, I think I just answered my own question.
