What would convince you that God doesn't exist?

I'm interested what it would take for a Christian, Catholic, etc. to be convinced that God did not exist.
In other words what kind of proof would convince you. The discovery of Jesus's body? Alien invaders? that kind of thing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

So do most Christians and Muslims. So where's the gripe?

So much time and energy is spent trying to convince others(and themselves) there is no God, yet if you don't believe there is a God isn't it a waste of time? Oh that's right, you all do it in the name of helping others, I keep forgetting that.
You shouldn't presume to know the motives of others. I just want to live in a world governed by reason, NOT by religious fanatics, be they Christian, Muslim or whatever.

Are you talking about missionaries?
lol. Missionary's believe God exist, so their time is well spent. Atheist believe there is no God, so there time is wasted. bernee51, baby you are on a roll son. Nice job for so ealy in the day. btw: evolutionists came up with circular reasoning. You remember from school don't you? One page says date the fossils by the rock, next page date the rock by the fossils.

Maybe we have different ideas about what constitutes a "fanatic".

My idea is based on civil law, it's rights and duties. What's yours?

Civil law? Like Sharia?
That's the sort of thing that I don't want.

Sharia is civil law. Why doesn't it fit your idea?

Putting religious ideology before reason.

And why gripe about that? What business is it of yours?

And why 'ideology'? Is that word a level playing field?

It's as much mine as anyone else's. Now can we return to the topic?

Yes.
Why "gripe" about that?

Really? So it's your business what everyone else believes about religion? Is Stalin your hero? What about philosophy and politics? Those too?
