Perhaps none, I guess. I'm willing to accept that some some people adopt a religion based off of some mystical experience that can't be analyzed. That's why I thought your answer was honest and reasonable, at least. The problem comes, I think, when some folks try to construct rational arguments in support of their faith. This isn't convincing since all religions - from the strictly logical viewpoint - can make the same claims (and often do). So how is an "unbeliever" suppose to choose from the countless sects, each claiming they're the One True Path? I know your faith is special to you, but I'm also sure you recognize that there are lots of folks out there with different faiths who feel just the same. They, too, have had conversion experiences. Which is authentic? Just theirs? All of them? Some of them? Beats me. I guess you can look at "their works" and decide. Problem there, lots of faiths do good works (and even the ocassonal agnostic). So that also is not clear. Still, I always ask these questions and listen. You never know.
