Need to get a letter to God? Here’s His address:

God
Jerusalem, Israel

The Israeli postal service’s Dead Letters Department will make sure it gets as close as possible. All of God’s mail is collected in plush bags and hand-delivered to the Western Wall (also known as “the Wailing Wall”) – a 58 meter section of the western retaining wall of the ruined Temple Mount. Several years ago, the God mail was really piling up, so postal service staff decided to start delivering it to God’s mailbox.

Apparently the requests run the gamut from pleas for forgiveness, to requests for money. For me, this raises an important question. How do they know? There is no explanation for this, but to assume that the Israeli post office is opening God’s mail! So if you decide to send a letter to God, it’s probably best to leave out the more embarrassing bits.

So now we know where God’s letters are delivered, but what about all His other mail? I’m not sure where the catalogs and advertisements go, but I think all the bills are sent to the televangelists. That would explain why those guys are always asking for money.
