So forgive me, Drich, if I seem less than fully whelmed by your little jesting proclamation. I have a prophecy with your name on it as to how you would interpret such a revelation.
If God told me He did not exist, then I would take it to mean He does not exist as I understand God to exist. Therefore I would assume if God told you He did not exist (meaning He did exist in some form or fashion, otherwise who would be their to tell you anything) then I would assume the truth of that proclamation would be the same For you. God simply does exist as you understand God to exist.. Or if you prefer your personal understanding of God does not exist.

If all you need is evidence, then simply A/S/K (Ask Seek Knock as outlined in Luke 11.) and God will provide it.
What would convince me God does not exist? If He told me He didn't.
And when you asked Thor, Jupiter and the rest if they exist did they tell you they didn't exist? Or did you take their silence as damning the same way I did toward your god?
Thor's fate as the God was sealed the moment he lost his first battle to the Incredible Hulk.
Jupiter lost credibility when as protector of the empire was not able to keep the empire from falling apart.
The 'rest' all share a similar fate.
