It makes sense that if there is a God he will communicate with people. It is logical for us to hear, see and sense God.
Yes it would make sense, but the conclusion only goes one way, if there's a personal God it would make sense that He communicates. If you think you are receiving communications from this God that most other people don't, you can't conclude therefore that they are messages from such a God. One is a conclusion "<=", the other is "=>", and they are not interchangeable.
That being said, God apparently is such a shitty communicator that there are 10000 different Religions on earth all misunderstanding what he meant, and killing each other over it, because all the written communication we got is an incoherent and completely vague collection of tales written down by goat herders and all taking place in an isolated backwater of the roman empire thousands of years ago. I mean, come on!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
