One would think that either God speaks to no one, as he doesn't need a "voice" or that he speaks to everyone. Either way it is the height of arrogance to believe that God speaks to "you" and no one else.

BTW, I don't mean that as a slam against anyone above.

On the TV series "House," Hugh Laurie, in the role of Gregory House, M.D., said:

"If you speak to God, that's prayer; if God speaks to you, that's psychotic."
