Is there anything that could convince you that the God of the Bible may not exist?
How do you prove a negative?
If you are a logical thinker, you know that is impossible.
Five seconds after I die I will know the answer for sure if I'm right and there is a God.
If I am wrong, I will never know it.

As a Christian I am willing to admit that I'm right. God exists. My Bible may not be 100% accurate. All I need is evidence.

If you're wrong and any other possible claim about god but the one you've selected is right, you will know it, and you may know it eternally. Please don't pretend that Pascal's Wager is at all cogent as a thought.

Do you honestly think this sort of rhetorical gloating about a position you can't possibly demonstrate is at all becoming?

Well... when I take a hard look in the mirror, I don't feel the same way you do at all.

As a Christian I am willing to admit that I'm right. God exists. My Bible may not be 100% accurate. All I need is evidence.
If the Bible is not 100% accurate, who decides which parts are good and which aren't? What if the picture you have of god is the wrong intepretation, a heresy?
Oh and yes, you desperately need evidence. To back up your claim that god exists though (also a definition of god would be quite nice).
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Anyone else small irony?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yup, that seems to be exactly backwards.
