Ok if this is true then I apologize, I have far to many times encountered Christians (even professional debaters) totally change the subject of the conversation.
As for searching for what would disprove.
I operate on the principle of falsifiability and I sure know what would change my mind if it comes to the existence of god. All god needs to do is show himself to me, hang out for 1 year with me fly around across the universe create some galaxies, and I would talk to him about theology and have lots of questions.
After this I sure would think there is a god or that at least I have a experience with this god thing even if it was a hallucination or dream.
This is what is named Falsifiability.
If the opponents does not know what will change his mind then its pointless to debate, this question exposes how dishonest some Christians are, totally devoid of any honesty or sense of reality since all their talk is simply insisting that square wheels are better then round ones and if asked what would change their mind they can not give any examples.
That sounds like god and not the bible (the fairy story of god), but anyway.
God does exist as a concept created by man. That's all some theists need. That would be a hard concept to falsify. The concrete existence,...... not so much.
Personally I consider the concept an emotional mental crutch, but if the theists need it to be happy, OK by me. I just wish they'd back off the false entitlement they think religious belief confers upon them.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
