You know you make theists and agnostics alike wonder what is behind all that anti-god passion. Did he -or one of his priests- touch you in a bad way?

What! You mean you don't.
Okay, I'll bite. What's your epistemic standard? For you, what does it mean to say you know a thing is true?
From the outside, it looks like Christians use the word belief in a way unconnected to any reasons to think a thing true. It seems much more related to "wishing" something true, than to being convinced of its truth for valid/conclusive reasons.
What exactly do you mean when you say of God that you "KNOW he exists"? (I'm expecting to hear about the fervency of your commitment to your belief in God.)
