Maybe we should listen more. Just saying.

That was absurd.

Made sense to me though! Either God is always silent or always talking to us, those are the only two possible reasons for us not being able to "hear" God, it's up to each person to decide what they believe in, I'll respect it even if you choose not to believe but that's your path to walk.

You left out a third and most obvious reason that no one hears a god talking to them.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Schizophrenics hear God all the time. If they don't turn out to be God, that is.

Still absurd.

Could God not be silent when he's got a mood on him? and then really chatty at other times? How does God communicate with you exactly? If you're hearing his voice seek help immediately, especially if he's telling you to do stuff.

Like start a new schism ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

God is like "Why those earthlings instead of getting their life straight always are blaming me?".
