I don't have any reasons to believe there isn't a God.
I am merely hugely unconvinced by the proposition of there being one. I don't declare it impossible but I certainly disbelieve it.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult in this universe to declare anything impossible. The best stance, in my opinion, is one of patience. I tend not to accept any idea without substantial proof. It is that simple. There is no reason to believe anything without reason. I contend that there are no unanswerable questions, but rather, questions who's answer will never be suitable to a human mind.
Instead of listing a redundant thousand strong list, I will merely state that there is every reason to believe there is no God, and not one to believe that a deity exists. The non-believer has no reason to pay credence to the idea, and no responsibility to it.

A reason to believe there is not a God? Makes no sense to me. I don't need any reasons to believe there isn't a God I disbelieve by default. I also by default don't declare God impossible because I cannot know that, that's intellectually dishonest.

Can I suggest you either wear a white sheet like a toga(just in case) then, when they knock at the door daub your forhead with a bloody pentagram and carry a blood soaked carving knife to the door and explain that your in the middle of a 'service'.
or talk to them about why there is no god be as detailed as possible and have answers to all their points, this forum is ideal training for that, they wont be back

they probably would be. I'm up for hearing a few of those proofs against God TD, no need for a thousand how about 5?

No one can prove that "God" doesn't exist, just like no one can prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist. All we can do is point out that there is no evidence to indicate that this deity does exist. It is up to the believers to provide evidence that their claim is true. Of course, they can't. All they can do is spout nonsense about how you have to "let God into your soul" and you have to "find him yourself". Blah, blah, blah.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
