Seriously? Who has done anything to you aside from try to point out flaws in your arguments or try to educate you on what skepticism really is, distinguishing it from the apologetic straw constructions you find in apologetic texts?
This conversation continues at your pleasure. As you present evidence for us to consider, I think it a fair guess that everyone here will consider it. Your frustration, I'll wager, comes at not running into the straw skepticism of Lee Strobel and his ilk. If your visit here has done nothing else, perhaps it has at least helped you see that the reason we don't believe is not because we've filled in the blanks differently but because we apply the same skepticism you do to all claims.
There is no proof. There are no pitchforks, either. Don't take it personally.
C'mon...I was kidding. Sheesh. And don't worry...I'm getting exactly what I came here for.
As for authors, Josh McDowell, Lee Strobel, J. Warner Wallace...all good authors of good books.
They're Protestants, of course, but you have to take the good with the bad...like Willilam Lane Craig, for instance. Sharp guy. Tough debater. Knows his stuff.
Gee, I hope I didn't just lose more credibility.
