Perhaps the question can be re-phrased another way.
You have mentioned that you have not spoken to any gods. Good for you, I'd be worried if you had. Jon is suggesting that this may be due to these gods not wanting anything to do with you. That they do not exist is, I'm sorry, a given, but assuming that they did, just for the lulz, why do you imagine they don't speak to you?
(not the best way to begin this discussion, essentially parroting the two most annoying and horrendously inept god retorts we get around here btw -atheists beliefs, and "prove my gods blah blah blah")
