What would it take?

Which is the religion with the most followers, Christianity? And it has managed to provide enough evidence to convince about 40% of the population of the planet, if we're being charitable?

Maybe they're asking the wrong question. Maybe the right question is "how could you be convinced by such meager, shoddy evidence?"

The question is asked out of frustration by who? The believer or me? They might be frustrated, I'm just trying to come up with a threshold where I can tell them 'this' is what it would take for me to believe you.

If someone asks me what I would need to believe, and my answer is just 'well your evidence sucks' I'm not answering their question. I'd prefer to give an honest answer in response to a polite question.
