To "know" Him is to love, HIM, I do not believe any human can truly know God and still reject Him. That is the whole point, that in the end, all will be exposed to God as He is, and will literally be UNABLE to reject HIM.

And that's a Calvinist point (Irresistible Grace) that I don't fully accept.
I also believe in a form of predestination -- that is, that God knows the individual's response to God's good gifts, and in real-time, he elects those whom he foreknew.
Quite possibly, there are those who know God, but whose rebellion refuses to accept God and to know him more fully.
As far as you not believing people can reject God's goodness, that's your opinion to have, and one I'm okay with. The alternative view is surely not blasphemous and I think you're being a little over-reactive, even for your theology. Driscoll speaks of being aware of God, at the same level Paul would in
Romans 1-2.
