Many conservative Christians believe Christianity requires a narrow moralism in which Christians don’t dance, drink, swear, play cards, see Restricted movies, etc. This becomes a real obstacle for apologists because a narrow, arbitrary moralism does not appear to be a plausible candidate for being the revealed religion of the one true God.
For that reason, challenging narrow moralism is not just good theology and ethics: it’s also good apologetics (or, if you prefer, pre-apologetics).
So share your arguments for God’s existence, but also share your thoughts on the latest great movie you saw or that great microbrew you just drank. Let people know that Christianity affirms the world and is culturally engaged and sophisticated. Pharisaism is not Christianity
