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.)
This is my answer, I know God exist, because you do not you think no one else should be able to, no matter how they come to believe, so it will do no good to explain to you how I know, you will deny my justification and claim you're right. I'm sorry you can not see the truth of God, if it were in my power to make you believe I would, I would not give you a choice the way God does, guess that's one reason I could never be God.
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.
