assuming this religion was quite different than everything you ever believed, how easily/quickly would you convert?

we don't know if any religions have got it right or not, we won't know until we die i guess

matt - the point was "if this religion was different than yours, how quickly would you convert" i am fully aware of what christians think about their own beliefs

I don't have a religion, so I suppose it would be easier for me. If there was concrete proof of something, it wouldn't really be a religion any more, it would just be the truth. I'd "convert" pretty quickly after seeing proof.

I'd be delighted if concrete proof turned up that a god existed. Then I, too, could have all the benefits that theists believe they have. Those benefits are immensely attractive - which is why people invented them. If only they were real I'm sure it would be great. That's why they call it 'the opium of the people'.
Sadly, they aren't real, and we're stuck in this rather cold universe where we don't matter a bit. I prefer to suck that up than delude myself with silly fantasies, however.

As long as the evidence was consistant and duplicatible by anyone and everytime the evidence was put to the test the results where the same, making it undeniably objective and there was no way that anyone could interpret the evidence in any other way then I think I would be convinced to convert.

I would have to study the belief system - it could possibly go against what I consider to be morally and ethically sound. If proof was presented tomorrow that the christian god was real I still could not follow him.
Conversion to anything should not be automatic - you have a responsibility to yourself to make sure it's something that will work for you.

Any religion is merely the story of a particular social group, falsely illustrating that group's "superiority".
Concrete proof is not possible for any delusion.
Truth is only in Science.

If there were concrete evidence then I would convert instantly. The problem is that there isn't a religion on the face of this earth that's got it right.

Ohh good question.
Of course we all want to believe that we are the ones that have it right and wouldn't have to convert.
But if there was was hypothetical concrete proof...I suppose I would convert. What choice would I have? LOL

I'd love to know what concrete proof you would get. I doubt that it would be possible. I think the only concrete proof would be if God herself came and sat with me in my livingroom and showed me (via television?) how she has done everything that she says she has done.

All true religions were based on concrete proofs but because they were limited to certain people at certain time the proofs are not valid or available for us. The only exception is Islam which was meant from day one to be global and eternal and for this reason its concrete proofs for all sincere and truth seekers what ever their interests time or specialties are available today. Just google Islam or Quran miracles and find out or contact me.

The only true religon is the absence of religon. I've already seen concrete proof of that and I converted long ago.
