I’m a Christian, but I have trouble with using these arguments to convince non-believers. I agree with you mostly that if a person does not have a desire, want or inclination to beleive then apologetics has little to no effect. For those who do have an inclination and for increasing people's faith apologetics is invaluable. People should not use apologetics as proof but rather as aid to faith Mel

Apologia is not just ineffective, it’s counterproductive. Like the previous poster said, the best testament to your religion is how you live your life. Do the Amish get into the how many angels on the head of a pin style arguments? O course not, their faith is unshakable and it shows in everything they do.
