To convince a Buddhist of the truth of the Bible there would have to be work of the Holy Spirit. The Father would have to be calling them to truth at that particular time, otherwise my words would be "pearls before swine" as it were.

My point is that the majority of Christians do not have a reasonable reason to be a Christian. If I used the same criteria on something else it would be deemed irrational. Knowledge has been divorced from faith and it has become something Scripture never meant it to be. I have not heard one apologetic answer, as Peter commands, and I could easily come to the conclusion that you have no cogent reasons to offer for the truth claims of Christianity.
