You can only leave a message?
The BBC reports:
"An art exhibition opening in the Netherlands will allow people to call a telephone number designated for God - but they will have to leave a message"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7929799.stm
That's extremely lame. When I phone the number of my local Temple of Pasta and utter a short prayer such as "I'd like you to deliver..." for just a small love-offering the acolytes deliver the answer to my prayer - a Worshipful Repast. So much more spiritually nourishing (not to mention physically).
May the Sauce be with us all.

Really? I usually cook mine before I try talking to Him.

Some Christians probably can't stand "physical" lack of their God (what means, that they can't properly understand their faith - shame). That's why they need such silly half-measures.
Poor beings. But does being poor justify that kind of stupidity?

Being omnipotent and all, you'd think he could answer every line. What, he's had to lay angels off?

I may have said this before, but i got a little "lost" on a "trip" once and the next day a friend asked "what did you do last night?" and all i could say was "I talked to God".

In MN, USA it's "praying to the porcelain god".
I have a comic called "opus" on my 'frige. WTH here's a link:

Now, would a being so powerful as to be able to create this vast and glorious universe really have anything to say to us that would even have meaning to our tiny little minds? I think that it was Dr. House who said "You might as well ask ants what they think of the stock market".

It's funny, I always heard it as "Calling ralph on the big white telephone."
Does that mean God's name is Ralph?

Nah, it's Howard. The Christians remind themselves of this every Sunday
"...Howard be thy name..."

Re: You can only leave a message?
If so it'd better be a pretty big message....
