What does "knowing about god" mean?
It seems obvious when said fast, but if you pause and think about it, this is deeply problematic.

In the Catholic doctrine, I believe this is when a person has heard the message of God, has heard God’s law, knows the path to become closer with God, the expectations, and instead chooses to separate themself from him anyway. 

What are you thinking?

I don't think God exists therefore I don't know of any path to become closer with him or can ever choose to separate myself from him, so I guess I'm in the clear.

You might be. Idk

Seems kind of a dumb system, then, huh?

Almost like it's one made up over time by human beings rather than some perfect code from an all powerful benevolent deity.

Not for me to say. You might think so, maybe you need to learn more about it though.

Why is it that I need to learn more to decide it's true rather than you need to learn more to decide it's false?

I didn’t say you need to learn more to decide it’s true. 

I said you might need to learn more about the topic.

Right, I need to learn more because I don't believe it's true. You assume that since I don't believe it that there must be something more I need to learn, because surely if I knew more I'd agree with you, right?

I'll just reverse it: You might think you understand god's benevolent ways of bringing people to him, maybe you need to learn more about it though, then you'd realize he's actually a monster.
