What I am saying is that an informal debate goes beyond the other person admitting they are wrong. Even if they never change their beliefs it is still worth doing if you feel you can learn something.

As for the question of whether I have evidence that God doesn't exist, I don't have to have evidence. The burden of proof is on those who claim there is a god.

I don't care so much about the argument about whether God exists or not. I care more about why someone should believe/not believe in its existence.
My mistake for misinterpreting you. I don't have factual evidence of God's existence and when it comes to the burden of proof, I'm not out to change anyone's mind (or my own, for that matter), so I don't think I should hold the burden. Anything I could say regarding my belief in God would be personal examples, and thus, not beneficial to this discussion. This is all said in a nice tone, by the way, no anger. Hope that made some sense.
