What Would It Take?

I have a question for you, Shuffle. What's with all the questions?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I am not sure what religion, but just for now, another one of the Abrahamic religions. Sufficient evidence. It would have to be a supernatural experience that would directly point to one of those religions.

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."

Btw, Shuffle, I appreciate all the questions you ask us theists. It's good that you want to listen to our side of things. :-)

I'll convert to any religion for the right price.

Actually, it were the priests laying the ground work for my atheism. Their constant repetition of jews, muslims and other unblievers not going to heaven, got me thinking and ultimately notice the general absence of evidence.

Probably a 1000mg, twice daily, prescription for Olanzapine.
Oh wait, to another religion? Sillier hats? 
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
