It's not about who you'd rather visit. The question is about who do you think requires more help. That is, do you think it's more important to help someone to become a nice person, or do you think it's more important to help someone gain knowledge of Jesus Christ.
From your answer I would guess that you would visit the guy who knows lots about Jesus, but isn't a very nice person. That way, you could inform him of how to be a better person.
But your answer also said that the two were equivalent. In which case, it's sort of a non-answer. I understand that "knowing Jesus Christ" can be similar to "being a good person". What I'm trying to show is that drawing this similarity too far can bring about confusing issues.
The point of the question is to show the slight-difference in priorities.
If you first go to see the nice-guy-who-doesn't-know-Jesus-Christ, then you'd put a slight-priority on "knowing Jesus Christ" as opposed to being a good person.
If you first go to see the guy-who-knows-Jesus-Christ-but-never-helps-others-anyway, then you'd put a slight-priority on being a good person rather than "knowing Jesus Christ."
In light of our more recent conversations, I think that I would always put the priority on sharing Jesus Christ. The point that we are making is that the guy who claims to know Jesus does not, in actuality know Him.
The good news, Mr.Stile, is that people such as you who would rather just do what is "written on their heart" may be closer to knowing Jesus than many religious folk. Even though you don't slang Him, you slang love...which is the same thing, in an agape sort of way.
When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to meannothing more nor less.
