I don't believe in the existence of God. I believe in God.
You believe in a God that doesn't exist? I'm pretty sure that's entirely impossible, unless you are admitting that God is nothing but a concept, but how is that consistent with Christianity? Jesus cannot be the son of a concept, therefore not divine and just another street preacher.
I'm not sure I get what you are trying to say.

Does that mean you do or you don't believe God exists?
Or is it that in your mind, existence itself is an attribute of the physical universe and therefore the question has no meaning? A bit like asking what happened before time?
Help me out here a little
That makes no sense, existence is not an attribute, rather something must have at least one attribute to exist.

Isn't that special pleading for you to want God to fit into un-godlike constraints? Limiting 'apparent reason' to 'existent'?
So what specifically lead you to believe in God?
