Why did this "almighty" being give people the ability to speak if those who claim to have all the answers in His name routinely dismiss and often try to silence those who hold different beliefs?

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Not all Christians are actively trying to obey God, and a number of them have beliefs that are against the truth. However, trying to evangelize and bring ppl to an understanding of Christ and their need for Him is what a Christian should do, if we didn't, it's like watching a blind person walk toward a cliff and not try to stop them. The fact is, the only way into heaven is through Christ, He's the only way to remove sin and become perfect in God's eyes.

Your question is hostile. This is proven by your use of "those who claim."
My answer is that God is a social being. He doesn't sit in heaven alone, he has angels. And he created us.
He created us in his own image. Thus, we are social creatures. He intended for us to hang out and talk to each other.
His primary purpose in giving us voices was not so we could convert the world, but so we could fellowship, express love and concern, and communicate.
Remember, the bible doesn't say God create Christians, Jews, Muslims and Budhists. He created people. And at the time of creation, there were no religions. Adam and Eve talked to God face-to-face. They literally hung out in the garden!

Why did God give us the gift of imagination to invent Him in the first place.

NO! You gave yourself your own voice!
God is imaginary! All forms of religion are false and are meant to brainwash you!
Believe in yourself and what you see!
Right now I see a nice set of breast and I BELIEVE in them!
