Apologetics are a waste of time, IMHO. Just believe and leave the judgements to God.

I must disagree. I think an overemphasis on evangelism (telling people what you believe) instead of apologetics (telling them why you believe it) has been and still is a major reason for the decline of Christianity in the western world. It has resulted in the faith losing a lot of its intellectual credibility, and while that doesnt matter too much for individuals, in the long term it makes it increasingly difficult to “reach” the secular world.
