If by 'most convincing', 'most persuasive' is meant, it's possible to compare, and I find only one. It's rarely used, but the best argument for theism, and the only evidence it's conceivable to present if God is withholding verifiable miracles, is the theist. If theists had a desirable quality unique to themselves that they could display, that would, in my opinion, be the most persuasive thing that they could bring to bear. It wouldn't be effective on skeptics, but it could certainly persuade fence-sitters. It's hard though, and the vast majority can't do it. Maybe if they actually had the divine on their side, they could do better at that. Their lives are the closest things to evidence that they have, it would be something at least, if, say, we really knew Christians by their love the way Jesus is supposed to have said we will.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
