Everyone can and should converse with Abba since Abba is within everyone and stands ready to be a guide and friend. But the notion that you call Abba God and claim he said this or that to advance a political goal in public is tacky display and the worst sort of violation of Christian precepts. I think most public use of the word God in or out of church would be frowned on by Jesus. See the Gospel of Mark for proof.
