My main concern is "is it something that can be shared with someone else in order for the belief to be upheld"?
My next concern is, if someone else agrees with your shared experience, is it due to an actual mutual experience or an immediate need for community?
I want to know how god can exists for some and not for others; my experience is that those who seek with an open mind shall find. With an open mind, I can find anything; even the visible pink unicorn. You don't see it? Guess your faith is not strong enough.
See. That's why the "faith" argument doesn't work.
It can be argued to encompass anything.
Faith is a mere excuse, not a worthy argument. You want an argument for god, try harder.
Faith is not the answer.
Faith is always the answer. Have faith in the the pink unicorn and if that faith does not grow and causes you to grow then you have put your faith into something that does not exist.
Faith is not blind, faith can help lead you to the real answers but only if you are going to accept what you find and form a relationship with what you find. As for the unicorn seems hard to believe anyone could have a relationship with it that was meaningful and life changing, but with the Creator of the universe who says He wants a relationship with you because He is your creator and loves you, then how do you not give it a real try on His terms, He is your creator after all. By the way faith has never been the argument and never will be, but on the other hand it has been used as an excuse for a very long time by those who seek an excuse.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
