An apologetic inroad?

Apparently, bloggers are required today to comment on 9/11.
Perhaps one of the many redemptive things that God can bring out of this great evil is an analogy that goes like this: for most people living today, history, in particular particular events, have no meaning. And yet, as we are often reminded, and grudgingly acknowledge, September 11 changed all of our lives. Those events have meaning. That cluster of events has impacted every one of us in countless ways, ways we know and ways we don't. We can deny the effects; we can, if we choose, even deny the events (9/11 never happened?) The impacts remain. The truth of 9/11 remains.
Now magnify the significance of the event exponentially and call it the Incarnation-Jesus' birth, life, death and resurrection. Ignore it if you can; even deny it if you will. But that event has changed your life, one way or the other, and will continue to do so forever, regardless of how you feel about it. The truth of Jesus remains.
