No. As I said, true rejection is knowing exactly what He is (goodness and love) and choosing to reject it all anyway. This is where full knowledge and consent of the will would apply here.
Do you not believe I have full knowledge and consent of the will ? Are you minimizing my capacity for choice?
Youre an atheist, right? As far as i know, you don't think God exists. Rejecting God with full knowledge and consent of the will means you would know God exists, you would know exactly what he is, and you would reject Him and everything he stands for anyway.
Though a person can also reject God simply by rejecting goodness/love in the first place.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
