Welcome to Gaia's forums, where millions of members gather to discuss random stuff, make new friends,
complain about life, argue about nothing, laugh at dumb pictures, discuss serious issues and/or curse like sailors.

Lurking is creepy. Quit skulking in the shadows and join the conversation!

Except the person who invented discovered first communicated with Him?

That has never been the case. Where did this come from?

Notice how when Europeans reached pretty much any country outside their continent or the middle east, Christianity was virtually nonexistent, and they had to bring it over.

Christianity is ALWAYS spread by means of humans. God never steps in and introduces himself. Look at Europeans discovering ANY country outside their neighborhood for a good example of entire civilizations living without any notion of YHWH.
 
     
 
Leave Christians alone and maybe they won't bother you so much.
     
'tis the voice of the Lobster: i heard him declare
"you have baked me too brown, i must sugar my hair."
as a duck with its eyelids, so he with his nose
trims his belt and his buttons, and turns out his toes.

People who have heard of God =/= people who have entered into a covenant with god

Your sentence says, "Why does YHWH only "communicate" with those who've already heard of him?", which has nothing to do with some need for God to personally express Himself.

People have many religious views and, as have been argued, these could easily be skewed forms of the one true God. Just because it is not a literal carbon copy does not mean its not a possibility.
