Instead of wanting to know more about God, we should use more energy in getting to know God.
Big difference there.

All religion is man made it all makes the same claim that it comes from God. This claim is partially true but people can never stand to leave Gods word alone. This is because god’s word is consistent and does not mesh well with their personal preconceptions and bigoted ideas. So they make little changes here and there injecting their thoughts into the mix tainting the word with nonsense. For this reason you should not put much faith in these ideas about god that come from others. If God wants to tell you something He is perfectly capable of telling you directly.
Maybe you should stop reading what other people say about God and ask him to tell you what he wants you to do directly. Stop reading; clear you mind and listen. When you pray get you’re talking over as soon as possible and listen. He is trying to talk to you but your mind is full of nonsense from the bible and other sources. Don’t be surprised if what you hear does not sound much like what you have been told about God. You will be hearing Gods message minus the nonsense.
In your bible study have you ever heard of the small still voice? You can't hear it if your mind is otherwise occupied with other people’s silly ideas about God. Just try it you will be surprised

How can you have faith in something you know nothing about? Read the Bible and learn. It's a fascinating book to show mankind how to live. Don't let some that say they are Christians or Jews confuse you. Christians and Jews, fight for justice, love mercy and walk humbly with their God.

Jesus told us, "I am the way, the truth, and the Life."
Scripture teaches that we (mankind) are created to, Know God, to Love God, and to serve God. That is the meaning of life.
And finally, St. Augustine said, we cannot rest until we rest in God.
We must know as much as we can because He is our Father, protector, shepard.... everything.

Why would you want to know more about your Father?
There is an innate need, a natural curiosity that you should satisfy. And it is of benefit because He will teach you a lot!

God is love and compassion, the more we learn about him the more we learn to love others and forgive them.
We try to eliminate the evil from our lives and embrace the good qualities.

Because some people think that God controls their lives, then annoy the rest of us with their unprovable convictions.

If you have a lot of faith you don't need to know that much about God.

its part of human brain development-to grow and to search for control of life in order to maintain existence.
