Epicurus riddle.

[Angrboda]

Wrong question. Why do some people turn down the love He ceaselessly offers and reject His blessings?

Because they do not want to obey, to submit or to worship.

Hey, Satan knows who God is better than any of us, but he still preferred his own will to God's will because of his great self-love.

We're all guilty of this to varying degrees.

This is an equivocation. To know the fictional character that is God is not the same as knowing the transcendent being, God. I do not know that God exists in the same way that I know that I exist. You're just playing with words to avoid making the accusation that atheists are outright liars. I resolutely am not in denial of my true feelings and beliefs about God, and that you would imply such is offensive. For what it's worth, I do not disbelieve your god because I am unwilling to obey, submit, or worship. I disbelieve your god because I think he doesn't exist. Your implying that I am simply in rebellion or denial is ridiculous and offensive. It is an accusation of bad faith. You don't have a clue what the real reasons are.
