belief?
If I know that God exist, do I also believe that God exists?
I think so.
but by 'faith' do you mean belief contrary to reason and observation?
so called 'blind faith'
I know that blind faith is certainly taught by many religions... but I don't think it is scriptural.
Heb 11:1

By those who believe in him. We'll ignore the circular "reasoning" in this quote for now.

The question is, why are you trying to prove his existence? If you need proof, you clearly lack faith.
I think your god is a figment. You're searching for "proof" to convince me. Why do you need my agreement to cement your faith? Clearly you're worried you might be wrong, and want others to agree and thus assuage your own doubts.
You're not very subtle, nor very virtuous, so far as I can see. Enjoy your belief.
Thanks for pointing out Heb 11:1
I don't have faith.
