Thanks, Dave's Wife, for the apologetics clarification. I was multitasking when I posted earlier and I could not get the small portion of available brain to spin to the correct place! :~)

This, from Wikipedia, further clarifies my post:

Religious apologetics is the effort to show:

<> that the preferred faith [being defended] is not irrational,
<> that believing in it is not against human reason,
<> and that in fact the religion contains values and promotes ways of life more in accord with human nature than other faiths or beliefs.
