1) A fundamental shift in the world around me. If there were a major and sudden poilitical shift in the world, such as America being attacked with nuclear weapons by an ally, could make me question how he could allow such a thing. If the government shifted to an obvious totalitarian rule, would be another example.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Do you think that god sat up one day and decided that America would be for his chosen people and that they would be granted the glory that is democracy? What did all the other people do to piss him off so bad that they get to be forcebly repressed by their governments (and there are totalitarian governments that have a xian population in the majority). What was it that made god not want people to have democracy before the 1800s? And apperently the Japanese did something totally messed up to bring god's rath upon them, I mean two nukes?!?! Shit, someone pissed him off big time I guess.

2) A fundamental shift in what I think God is. If Shiva were to appear in front of me right now and explain how Christianity is based on a great man, but not a God. Than after that, Shiva (or some God from another religion) were to conclusively prove to me that God was a creation of man, and that he/she was able to show me his/her power that is far beyond my understanding.

In order for me to stop believing, another religion could be proved. If Hel and Odin started running around fighting the Ragnarok or whatever, I might convert to Norse Mythology.

So you require proof of the xian god but not that of another? This just shows how much of xian life and faith is based on indoctrination.

For me to completely stop believing, it would take God telling me he doesn't exist. erm... that doesn't work out very well
Damnit, that's what I wanted to say.

See above without the other gods part.

If the answer is better, enjoy your relationship with God. The creator of the universe loves you. You can't top that!

God can keep his grubby hands off me, thank you very much.
