To the OP I would simply ask you to explain to me what salt tastes like.  Assuming I've never tasted something so common as salt, how would you explain to me how it tastes?

It doesn't work like that... salt is something tangible, if never tasted it, you taste it. If it exists you try it. If God exists...

 

If you had never tasted or seen salt or met anyone who had tasted or seen salt or had no salt at all anywhere on Earth to prove it's existence would you believe in this so called 'salt'?

God does exist, prove him.  Just like you would prove what salt tastes like or if you wanted to see if a seed truly sprouts into a plant.  It's not that complicated.  I've experienced the power of God in my life.  I have a lifes worth of experience that you cannot disprove.  I know he exists.  How is this different from the parameters I set for salt?  Surely you could describe something so common as salt.

Because everyone can experience salt but not everyone can experience God...

You're feeling is not backed up by anything and millions of people don't feel the same way. I could describe salt with a lot of proof, I could actually bring it. You're not proving anything.

I never felt anything like God in my life, no one in my family is religious. If you had never been taught about it would you have felt it?

Not that many people are religious in Europe. So it's not just a matter of describing, you need more. I could make up and describe anything I please.

False.  Everyone CAN experience God.  Do you really want to know how or are you just trolling me?  I'd be glad to tell you how if you'd like.  The fact that it is impossible to describe what salt tastes like to someone that has never tried it illustrates my point.  Unless you try it yourself, you cannont really know.  In this same way, I have put God to the test and proved him.  He has made himself evident to me.  It's all the evidence I need.  If you have a true desire to know God he has provided a way for you to get to know him.

Not everyone can experience God. I can't and I know I never will. Same with most people around me.

According to your logic, my feeling must the truth and therefore God does NOT exist at all.

There, proven.

I'm curious as to why you don't feel like you can experience God and know who he is?

Can you experience Alá or Buddha?

If I say I believe in a three headed monkey that created the seas with tears and the earth with his dry blood, can you experience him?

Try.

I have never studied Alá or Buddha, you'd have to ask a member of one of those religions.  I know that the Christian God spoken of in the Bible exists and I know how to communicate with and know him.  I'm not sure what you are driving at though?  In answer to your question about the three headed monkey, if I had a desire to know and you provided a way to do it, I believe one could follow your directions and prove it to see if it is truth.  I asked a simple question that you did not answer, however.

A question can be answered with a question.

Simple answer: I can't experience something solely because someone tells me to.

It needs to make logical sense. My mind has to be able to accept it. And not everyone can accept that, no matter how much you instruct them.

It is not my words that will convert you.  You are correct that Man CANNOT convert someone to God.  It is a personal relationship that you develop with God himself.  People serve as witnesses of him, but ultimately you can choose to believe what you will.  One of God's greatest gifts to us is our agency.  He will not force someone to do that which he does not want to.  I'm gathering from your responses that you have no desire to truly know if there be a God.  I hope I'm not coming off as trying to convert you with my words.  I am simply offering a few simple steps you can take if you really have the desire to know.  If you don't have that sincere desire, then our conversation must end and we will agree to just be friends with good gaming in common.
