Nope. Unless you can say that you want to believe there is no god if there isn't one, and believe in one if there is then there's no point in discussing it. If you really can truthful say that, then we can talk evidence and standard of proof.
But--- this idea is my way of dealing with people close to me who want to convert me because they love me, and whom I might hurt by debate. Consequently, it is meant to end discussion, as most theists really really want there to be a god.
I'll undoubtedly gone on shooting down purported proofs of god on this forum or elsewhere.
What does my belief have do with whether a God exists or not? What I propose is to measure evidence, for and against. If you can prove to me a God does not exist, then sure I'll no longer believe, but If I can prove to you that a God does exist, could you say you'd accept him?
