Toward Wiccan Apologetics

I came across a forum site that was discussing apologetics in which one person, presumably a Witch, stated the desire to help anyone defend their religious position. One person replied that apologetics was very simply using "God's Truth" to fight the untruths of the Christian god of evil.
So in wondering and wandering I came across this site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologetics

It provides a much sounder definition for apologetics and it really gets me to thinking. How well are we, as Witches, armed to defend our own positions against the "onslaught" of the Christian apologists? It could be a rippingly fun exercise to explore the arguments against Wicca that can be found on a host of Christian apologetic web pages:

Some fairly stimulating reading to be sure...;^)
