Long ago, the voice of God projected from rocks and burning bushes, but nowadays, we're so used to constant noise from our mobile phones, the radio, and the eternal music played wherever there are people, that we wouldn't notice the divine voice, not even if God shouted at us from the supermarket carpark.
