Leave God A Message...

Leave God a message at his Dutch answering service

AMSTERDAM (Reuters Life!) – God is taking calls.

Dutch artist Johan van der Dong has set up a local telephone number in the Netherlands, where he urges people to leave messages for God on his answering machine.

Van der Dong said he set up the number to give people an opportunity to take pause and contemplate life.

"Like praying, leaving a voicemail message is a way to organize your thoughts," he said. "It's a perfect combination for some contemplation."

Callers dialing 06-4424-4901 (or +316-4424-4901 if calling from outside the Netherlands) from March 7 will hear.

"Hi, you are speaking to God. I'm not in right now so leave a message after the beep."

I bet he never returns the call.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

If he has to leave it for the answering machine his phone will be ringing constantly.
He'll become even more insane!

God isn't home so leave a message. Perfect metaphor. Especially since, as pawiz suggests, he probably does not even return the calls.
