We know God exists in belief, we learn who He is from revelation, through His word or from Him. Are you so thick headed that you can not understand this, and you make fun of me. Wow.
Sorry for butting in, but.... yeah...
To me, knowledge and belief are two very different things.... unless you enter the philosophy subforum.

The circularity. It's... it's too perfect!!!

Oh, then I suppose that scientist do not receive knowledge from the subject they study, seems I heard from them that they do, is this circular too. How about an autobiography, when someone explains to others who they are, that's circular as well, shucks I guess it's back to the drawing board.

You failed to understand your own circularity.... it ends at the last word in your sentence, not half way.
You ask god to receive "knowledge" of god.
Try this exercise: you have no concept of god. How do you receive "knowledge of god"?
