Lord's Mail Gets Special Delivery
Lord's Mail Gets Special Delivery

(AP) Ever felt your prayers went unanswered? Try sending a letter to God and chances are it will end up, as many do each year, at an Israeli post office in Jerusalem, where they are read and sent on to the holy Western Wall.

The letters come from all over the world in a host of languages. The elderly ask for good health. Others seek heavenly remedies for debts, relationship assistance, or help finding jobs. Children mainly ask God to spring them from homework assignments. The trickle of requests turns into a flood around Christmas and the Jewish holidays.

“We have hundreds and thousands of letters sent to either God or Jesus Christ and for some unknown reason they all come to Jerusalem,” said Yitzhak Rabihiya, a postal spokesman.

1. Shouldn't they all go to the White House Oval Office?


Since Dubya says he is in regular contact with God and his followers all think he is Jesus reincarnated.
