Our love for God cannot be merely love of His name or loving that He loves us. If we are to love God as we love our spouse, it is imperative that we know what God's hopes, dreams, and desires are for humanity and wanting to share in them. That's why discussions over which Sacraments are needed, or if Jesus left us the Church, and so forth, are necessary because they deal with the hopes and dreams of God for us and to merely write them off as "unimportant" would be the same as me telling my bride that her ambitions in life, her past-times, and her desires are not important either and I can't imagine a marriage like that lasting very long.

Any self-respecting Protestant has to admit that God failed utterly in revealing these things about Himself, therefore they must be unimportant.

Ergo...God becomes unimportant.
