Step two involves, supposing god exists, valuing the truth about god existing in relation to you.
In short (as I have tried to explain to Rob), god being what-it-is, your being-you is fundamentally related to god-being-god. Knowing the nature of that relationship is valuable because it tells you about who and what you are.
So would it be a fair paraphrasing of what you're saying if I said that step 1 is knowing god exists and step 2 is knowing what god means to me?
