CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS ARE TIRESOME

Why can't people simply admit that they believe nonsense and have done with it? There's really no excuse for apologetics such as this one by Andrew Sullivan which only served to rile the freakshows. David Hume in his The Natural History of Religion expressed this very clearly:
Survey most nations and most ages. Examine the religious principles, which have, in fact, prevailed in the world. You will scarcely be persuaded, that they are any thing but sick men's dreams. Or perhaps will regard them more as the playsome whimsies of monkeys in human shape, than the serious, positive, dogmatical assertions of a being who dignifies himself with the name of rational. (NHR, 184)
