Now understand these interactions are not to convince others, as they are directed at a specific individual Spiritual needs. however these interactions are indeed evidence that God is willing to interact with anyone who simply follows His instructions. Unlike you failed dragon analogy God does indeed evidence one in the way of testimony so the God claim is not just being announced from a complete void/dark, and more importantly the claims (for the last 2000 years) are being supported to individuals by God Himself. Otherwise why follow a given religion if it does not deliver what it promises.
Again, same problem. Every religion claims to be directed towards spiritual needs. They all claim that they have interactions with deities (worship). None of it is evidence of the truth of it. If you expect a person to accept a religion, there must be rational grounds for accepting it.
Really?!?!?
Have you actually studied religion?
Of the top 10 I've actively studied 6, of those Only Christianity claims to put the average person in direct contact with God.
That is not to say other religions 'gods' don't contact people, but when they do there is something special about them which makes them prophets or emissaries, or whatever, or they are used as pawns. Christianity is the only religion that gives you one on one time with it's God. Other religions offer rewards for alliance/obedience. for those followers those 'spiritual rewards' are the reason for their obedience. Christianity offers audience with God, eternally.
If this is appealing or at the very least you want to know if what I said is true then simply A/S/K as outlined in Luke 11 and Allow Him to work with you.

So what, are you saying as we collectively understand God on a greater level, or as some of us fall back we are not allowed to seperate from each other and worship God to the best of our abilities?
The fact that we are all mostly pointed in the same direction speaks to a singular unifying point that keep us all worshiping towards the same point. How we do it was meant from the beginning as different as we are different on an individual level
