I dunno, whatcha think?
It's not what you or I or the rest of the world thinks that's important. What's important is how the other apologists view them, how the regular member views them, how the leaders view them... and scoring points against the opposition is how one moves up the ranks.
Never get the idea that they care how the rest of the world views them; they don't. They only care about moving up the leadership ladder... Pride, remember. It's all about pride.
Maybe the ought to spend time caring about what Heavenly Father thinks about them and get off their self focused high horse?
What it looks like to an outsider is that they are trying to score points with God while actually behaving in ways that are contrary to what the Bible teaches (at least) regarding humility. In other words, it makes them look like non-Bibilical hypocrites.
I wouldn't know for a fact, what it actually is. I only know what it looks like.
