Sure. I know at this moment, that God is in my life, he exists and interacts personally with me in my life. I base this off of faith in that there is no objective materialist evidence to support that. However there are subjective indicators that it's more likely that he exists than doesn't. That's valid for me and practical for me to say I believe there is a God through my faith. The fact that the support for that is experiential in nature and subjective, does and should, constantly be validated for accuracy. I do this by questioning, reasoning, doubting. I question whether I am interpreting my experiences accurately, I doubt at times (since belief is a continuous process) my intentions motives and experiences. I reason, attempt to remove bias and re-reason things regularly.
you said in all probablitiy.. so it's possible that he does exist.. that is a doubt. It's a natural thing to have doubts.. I don't see why it's such a difficult concept for me to get accross.

I have no doubts that, in all probability, god doesn't exist.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
