I don't know if you lost any debates there. If you were having those debates for a long time, you may have heard of Russel's Teapot:
Russell's teapot is an analogy, formulated by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making empirically unfalsifiable claims, rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others.

So there's nothing there to disprove. Anyone who wants to convince you of the existence of the Gods they believe in, that person has the responsibility to convince you. Not you, them.
But I think it's a bad idea to try to convince people to believe, or disbelieve things anyway. Why do that? Faith is a great thing to have, life is hard and there's horrible things that happen during it. There's nothing more powerful than knowing in your heart of hearts that there's someone big, and almighty, watching over you.
Leave people believe. You're not doing them a favour by trying to refute their faith.
