Isn't that a problem with apologists in general? They always keep repeating the same (stupid) arguments over and over again. They probably think that the atheist side hasn't really addressed it well. Or they are lying, but of course they are never going to give in. I'd love to hear some new arguments though.

It's always a problem when theists quote people that are in fact atheists and use it for their own side. It's a sign of weakness, and yet too many apologists do it.

Not sure what else he really can do. The arguments he puts forward are the big arguments from the theist side that are being used for a long time. Do these lesser known apologists have better arguments?

no, but often i can hear that they ripe nearly word for word from Craig. You can hold similar views as another person, but to use word for word someone's entire argument as your own seems lazy.
Do you find the forum to be quiet and inactive?
