Leave God a Message

If you've ever wanted to pick up the phone, and leave a message for god, dutch artist Johan van der Dong has just the number for you. Johan has set up a local telephone number in the Netherlands, where he urges people to leave messages for God on his answering machine. "Like praying, leaving a voicemail message is a way to organize your thoughts," he said. "It's a perfect combination for some contemplation." If you dial 06-4424-4901 (or +316-4424-4901 if calling from outside the Netherlands) starting March 7 you will hear, "Hi, you are speaking to God. I'm not in right now so leave a message after the beep." It's strange that the almighty doesn't have a vanity number or at least one that is easier to remember.
