What would it take to make you a Christian? (non-theists)

The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well. So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

  • Something like this? Note, I'm a Christian in the sense that I believe in Jesus and God but don't align myself with any particular branch of Christianity. But it really is fascinating that Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and even Buddhism all have a little bit in common like the whole 40 day thing for instance.

      • [quote][url=http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistry101/a/lawtheory.htm]A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis.[/url][/quote] I'm not confusing theory with hypothesis. Theories can be disproven and have been disproven throughout many times in the course of human history.
