Apologeticians
this article has problems in content and style. It feels like a ad for a certain website. Apologetics has a historry of 2000 yeras, so the must be more than a website to refer to. -- Order 13 March 21:54 (AEST)
- This article needs huge work. It tells me nothing about apologetics, and gives the results of a debate like a soccer game. This website should be able to do better. I don't know enough about the topic, although if someone wants to teach me, I'll do the writing, although I'd rather that someone who knows more does it.JoyousOne 22:41, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
