I really dislike the apologetic approach that argues for a god.

I have sat through apologetic lectures that argue against atheism and use Flew as a prime example that theism is reasonable, but it only begs the question of why the Christian God.

If we argue for theism we cannot complain if people get to a theistic position and then decide which god is most reasonable for them to believe in. This is as bad as atheism.
