Why do christians think god communicates with warm fuzzy feelings instead of direct verbal speach?

It's been my experience that The Holy Spirit speaks to us the whole time, we just don't know how to listen. It isn't until we learn to follow what God has told us to do, that we learn to hear/listen to the Holy Spirit.

I totally agree with this post. The holy spirit is always speaking. He's always guiding and leading us. listening to the holy spirit is a art. You have to learn his ways and his voice before you can truly here him accurately.

It makes no sense for the holy spirit to require a magic decoder ring or a special sensitive technique in order to communicate with his followers.
If a rational holy ghost wanted to talk to you it simply would in the fashion seen so many times in the bible. If it didn't want to talk to you it just wouldn't. The Gnosticism technique of which you and Drich seem to employ was thrown out of the church quite a few centuries ago. The masons revel in codes and secrets too.

Again, why can my dog communicate more clearly and more effectively than your holy spirit? If the holy spirit had a nugget of wisdom to impart into you, why wouldn't the message be godly perfectly clear? Con men have need for secrets, the honest love the light of day.

You and Drich are probably not the only two "real christians" in the world. If the holy spirit guided all the real christians once a year even, we would be sure to see such a statistically massive difference in good effects among society. Yet this is not seen. Christians become criminals and divorce just as much as any other population set, if not a bit more. American atheists have better metrics than the christians, how is that possible with even an inkling of divine guidance?
