If God speak to them, clearly it won't tell them anything they don't already know. I've proved this point multiple times. I have an open challenge for any theist to tell me what four digit number I'm thinking of. God either can't or won't tell anyone this number, to provide some sort of vague evidence. Or if he has, the person hasn't dared to put forward the answer so they can't be confident in it.
As soon as religion and "God" is put to the test in reality, it fails. I have no problem with a deist belief as a kind of emotional reaction and a fundamental discomfort with uncertainty. I think it's pointless, but it's pretty harmless. But the idea that this God actually talks to individual people is completely absurd, I'm afraid.
No theist ever addresses this, so I'll bring it up again: how come God agrees with everyone individually, yet they disagree wildly with each other? This means God is disagreeing with himself, or else everyone has their own "personal God", right? Ironically that is a very good description of what is going on. God is incredibly personal.
All the "logical" defences for God are fallacious, and even then, they only account for a deist God. There is absolutely no justification for claiming to know loads of details about the God, such as it doesn't like people masturbating. I mean come on, how can you reconcile something so petty with the supreme being you put forward? Isn't that a giveaway that this is made up garbage?
I don't know if there's a "creator", but I am as absolutely certain as it is possible to be within my limitations that all religious portrayals are absolute nonsense.
