Twitter offers a chance to tweet God

There is someone in Jerusalem who is offering a unique service to anyone on Twitter. If you send him your prayers via a tweet, he will forward them to God.

It's not a sure bet that they will be received by God, but it might be worth a chance.

According to a report on Reuters:

An Israeli university student has opened a Twitter site, twitter.com/thekotel, where prayers can be sent for placement in the crevices of Jerusalem's Western Wall, a Jewish holy site that faithful believe provides a direct line to the Almighty.

Alon Nir, a resident of Tel Aviv, prints out each Twitter prayer and then drives to Jerusalem. He has placed over 1,000 paper messages in the crevices of Jerusalem's Western Wall, a site that some believe provides a direct line to God. These tweets aren't visible to others because Nir requests that they be sent to him by direct message (DM).

Nir told Reuters: "People trusted me with their innermost feelings and secret thoughts ... and it's my duty to provide them with what I promised."

Not a bad idea. I might just give it a try, after all, it can't hurt. Who's to say what happens in regards to the spiritual. It is also interesting to note that he has made this a free concept for people of any religion to partake in, which is a positive aspect and something that should be appreciated, considering the circumstances of the region.
