How would you regard good evidence for a God you don't now believe in?

I cannot even conceive of any evidence that would be worth considering.

Exactly the same response as my wife. She also copped to #1 but she then wanted to know why there isn't a choice for "this just doesn't interest me".

It really does seem totally absurd but I given my early, childhood bout of Christianity I find the hypothetical easier to engage.
