Studying theology would prevent silly errors like "all Christians believe in an angry man in the sky."
If you don't want to discuss Christianity on the Internet, and don't care about the subject, there's not much reason to study it.
You don't need to [thoroughly] study theology in order to understand what Christianity itself entails overall. And only a few, if any, really believe that Christians believe in an angry man in the sky.
It's also misleading to imply that the theologian's God is the same as the philosopher's God because they're not. The theologian's God is somewhat the philosophical God + some other attributes/properties/acts that are exclusively Christian-based, and in many respects is closer to the Bible God than to the philosophical God.
