Default Christians - could you ever be convinced god does not exist?

This came up in another thread, but I'd be interested to hear from Christians (or believers from other faiths as well).

Is there anything anyone could say, or any event that could happen, that could convince you that your belief in god is erroneous?

I think most athiests agree that they could be convinced god did exist, if proof was presented. (Say, for example, god came to earth and raised my dead grandmother from her grave... I'd certainly believe in god in that case.)

But is there any proof that could make a believer think god DOESN'T exist?

Or, a related question: if you used to believe but no longer do, what changed your mind?

sure, it would be foolish to assume that any belief couldn't be overturned through logical reasoning. I haven't come accross any evidence that disproves my belief in God. If anyone has any i"ll happily listen.

Sure, nothing concrete in terms of "scientific", but through historical, archelogical, personal terms. What i mean is, its not something that i can plop in your lap and after determining that A=B and B=C, then A=C type of thing.

By the way psycho, this topic thread puts the burden of proof on you by the way. Doesn't matter to me though.
