If your dad is cool and he says it, he's pulling you aside to have a confidential "coaching" moment, while saving you the embarrasment of having your friends hear the whole subject.
Can also be said to someone about your own age who is being a bit naive, for example about a girl who might be bad news, but who your homey is starting to get caught up in. You might say to him "can i speak to you son" as a way of letting him subtly know he might want to talk to you because there might be something you know that he might want or need to know.
Your unsuspecting friend: "Man, I don't see why all them other dogs be saying that girl is a golddigger! She seemed nice, and very interested in me."
You: "can i speak to you son"

A saying from an adult to a child usually when the child has interrupted the adult in the midst of their adult conversation with someone else.
I'm not talking to you therefore, hold your thoughts and speak when you are spoken to or not at all.

No. It doesn't. The guy ASKING whether or God speaks to you doesn't believe in God and the ANSWER to him was "Yes. God talks to you. It's your conscience. That's God."
Dr. JeepJorp "Does God speak to you?"
Hym "If you don't BELIEVE IN GOD AS AN ENTITY WITH AN INDEPENDENT WILL AND A CAPACITY FOR DISCOURSE... NO... It doesn't. Do you, Not-Dr. Jordan Peterson, BELIEVE... That your conscience... Is a guy? Because for you conscience... To BE God... It would have... To BE A GUY... Is that what you think is happening there Dr. Jordan Peterson? Your conscience is a guy talking to you. That's what you believe?"
