Weird, I hear the EXACT SAME THING from Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Etruscan Penis Worshippers, Pastafarians, Methodists, Seventh Day Adventists, and a whole heap more.
What makes YOUR testimony special ???
I do not know what the others hear but the Methodist and Seventh Day Adventist are Christians and would hear from the same one true God.

Maybe they haven't got your phone number. You're sure, you have provided them with all your details?
If I have to provide them with anything they can't be worth my time. My God reached out to me and I accepted, the others have been silent.

So you only have one voice in your head?
Do I need more, it's hasn't seemed necessary to have more than one?

I can prove my wife exists.
I can prove my job exists.
A better analogy for your choice of the Christian religion is if you married a woman but you've never met her. No one else you know has ever met her either. You don't know for certain where she lives exactly but you believe she's out there somewhere. You have some letters allegedly written by her that were handed to you by someone else. That's the only "evidence" you have that this person you married is even real.
You also have a job too but you don't know where it is that you work. You believe that your job exists and someday you'll get paid for it. Someone told you that you've been hired by some other mysterious character that they in turn have never met but you have no evidence that you're really employed.
What makes you think we have never met God, could it be because you haven't so that means it's not possible for us. What kind of logic is that.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
