Call me a crank, but I get annoyed by how much of Catholic apologetics are aimed at Protestants. Maybe I have this attitude because I’ve spent most of my life in non-Protestant areas, but I think Catholic apologetics should focus more on converting agnostics, atheists, indifferent people, and the like, since they seem to be more common these days than sincere Protestants (and Catholics.) Don’t get me wrong, apologetics aimed at Protestants are valuable, but it seems like Protestants are, to paraphrase Rush, living in the heads of Catholic apologists rent free.

Talk to Frank Weathers. I think he mnay have been a convert, but don’t know for sure.

I’m only the messenger.

That happens when your "opponent" is right. They get way under your skin.

Hey, we aim to get them all.

The reason it seems that these things are directed at Protestants is that, for the most part, they already know the basics and further of Christianity. So the question isn’t “Are you Christian?”, but “Do you have all the gifts that God has given us in this world?”

With Atheists agnostics etc.... they are (or claim to be) non beleivers. At least with Protestants they already have a starting point.

I have tried with Agnostics and Atheists on several occasions and every time you are making a point they resort to "Well there is no god so you are wrong"

With out that initial point you are just wasting your breath.
