What would it take to convince you that God does not exist?

To die and find nothing. (of course, how would I know?)

Motive

This suggests that you are beyond all reasoned argument and all evidence no matter what that may conceivably be as long as you are alive.
I would ask what possible motive such an argument would have.

My current belief is that a Creator is as likely as not. As I may have said before, 50/50. It is true that I favor a belief and a hope more-so than not. Thats why I would ask, again, what motive one would have at dissuading me.

Re: Motive
My motive? Honestly, I just like debating/discussing God and philosophical musings on spirituality.
