I can study those claims and the knowledge revealed, and have faith in those claims, but I struggle (or haven't tried hard enough) to have a relationship with God that way.
IME God reveals himself best to me through his creation. The revelations experienced by other people can confirm my own and I'm thankful for that. The revelations experienced by other people are also, if not limited in detail by their own capacities, are limited by my capacity.
k00b: “I don’t think you can think much about God.”
I'd guess I mostly meant that given what God is, I'll never think about him enough to feel like I've thought "much" about him.

Yes, God reveals himself through creation, but also in his word through the holy scriptures, which honestly, the more I study the more I find deep wisdom and truth in it about reality and about the human condition. The third testimony of God is the love that his people show for each other, through the church. That third one isn't often appreciated, since church scandals always make the news, but there are many healthy churches out there that fly under the radar.
