I was a Christian for many years and thought sometimes that maybe God was speaking to me through things that happened in my life. This is one of the things why you have to be drinking the Kool Aid before god "speaks" to you. You interpret everything through the lens of believing god can and does send you messages. It's just normal things happening but you see god in them. There's a technical term for this sort of thing but I'm sure I don't know what it is.
But if we're to believe that god did things like flood the entire earth killing almost everyone (very direct) why can't he use that same directness and simply speak clearly and audibly?
I went to a Pentecostal Church for several years and the pastor there taught that anybody can hear god speaking, some nonsense about listening to his voice. They also believed in loudly saying a bunch of stuff no one understands- "Speaking in Tongues." It's actually a precondition for becoming an official member.
