If God is speaking to everybody, then he appears to be telling everybody very different, contradictory things. Perhaps, this rather glaring discrepancy can be explained if we examine the fact that your relationship with God seems to be precisely shaped by the culture in which you were raised, and the pre-dominant version of God you were taught to believe in. Sure there are exceptions, but typically, religion obeys borders, while truth does not. In America, God is Yahweh, while in India, God is Vishnu. The truth does not behave this way. In America, 2 + 2 is 4, and in India, 2 + 2 also = 4. If God's message to us was so dire, so vitally important, then why wouldn't he give it to us in such a clear and precise way, so that we would all be in agreement. As evident as a simple math problem in which there is universal agreement, rather than trusting his precious message to be spread by fallible, corruptible human beings. Why would Almighty God allow the continuation of such widespread falsehoods in his name which would be effortless for him to correct, or never ever need to correct in the first place, because a perfect being would have gotten it right from the very beginning.
