Sufficient evidence can be subjective depending on the person though. Personally I feel like I have sufficient evidence for my faith specifically, and I certainly don't believe in everything I hear. So I don't see how an outsider could conclude that I'm delusional.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
