We live in wonderful technological times, in the fastest lanes of life, in the instant responses and automated machines and services. With a click of a device or the punching of few numbers you have access to a myriad of services and information, some you need and some are worthless.
Nonetheless, you have no choice in the matter. The fact remains that the impersonal and cold talking machines replace the customary personal touch and service. To add insult to injury, we are limited to where, when and whom to contact and how many times we can call.
What if God Himself decided to operate in that fashion and devise a communication system for believers to subscribe to and log on. The system to include among others: prayers and requests, inquiries and mail room, tête-à-tête chatting room, sales and order departments, leisure and entertainment, Faq, available services, directories, life after death. You may need a sign on and a password. Payment for will be in various degrees of penance and atonement.
