The Palm Beach Post would never have printed what you wrote anyway, so it doesn't make a difference what you wrote. ;-)

But honestly, if you are trying to convince someone, one possible trick is not to write 45 pages, but to write a couple of sentences to pique their curiosity and make them ask, "What do you mean, Jeuss fulfilled Old Testament prophecies?" and then you gradually suck them into the discussion more and more. This is not a discussion for the pages of a newspaper, of course--I'm referring to interactions with nonbelievers in daily life.

Oh, I agree with you. However, I just chose to respond to what I thought would pique the interest of Christians about what has become bolierplate rhetoric for the atheists - that outside of the Bible there is no proof Jesus lived, was crucified, resurrected ect

What I didn't do was to respond as you might have responded. Keep your eyes open. Maybe your local paper will carry this column and you can respond as you desire. When you do, you give every indication you will do a smashing job, sister.
