God does not have a "voice". Like any spiritual power, he transmits thought which brains turn onto concepts (stage 1 step-down) cultural representations of concepts (stage-two step-down) language (stage 3) and ones own vernacular (stage 4 step-down) AFTER filtering through one's personal capacitance filter to ensure only those patterns which one is already willing to think are allowed through.

With all that alteration, it is mighty presumptuous to assert you are hearing the voice of God, as Mister Presumption Bush himself did in respect to invading Iraq, I think for him the voice came through his hairdryer or somp'n.
