How do you answer something like that? Any attempt to reason with this person will degrade into a apologetics context witha person who thinks they are a "god" and can correct the God of the Bible. This is one for folks with a lot more patience than I. Could it be casting your pearls before swine?
You answer it prayerfully.

And something we need to remember is that this is for the school newspaper, so it is not only this person who would be reading the response, but others as well. God may not use the response to reach this one man, but He may desire to use the response to reach someone else...if we look only at the one person 'reading' the response, then certainly I may agree with you about casting pearls before swine, but given the fact it is a response that will be read by many other people...I don't see it that way.

Let's look at the bigger picture here, this man puts the response in the newspaper, say 100 people read the newspaper and the response causes even one or two people repent..is that not for God's glory that even the one or two repent; even if the one that is being addressed doesn't?
