If you know of a church or mosque, business, community, etc. available to receive and welcome God Allah for the purposes previously explained by the religious organizations, please email Me at god @llah.MOBI (no spaces).

For more information please contact Allah's VM/SMS +1-707-925-2488

Emergency Message,

God Allah

===============

Who knew God Allah had e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and a PO box in San Mateo? I'd question why He doesn't have a Web site, but I guess He moves in mysterious ways.

I wish I had a church or mosque for Him to use, but I don't. Seeing as He's decided to get in touch with me directly, do you think I should build Him one?

Email Him back and tell him you plan to build him a church but you need to know what dimensions (in cubits) He wants it.

So Allah is okay with churches? Like, Christianity or Islam, it's all the same to him?

I think he should be clearing up a few things with some of his more... zealous followers, instead of writing random e-mails.

But what do I know? I'm not God.

Reply back that he is an obvious false god, for the One True God would want His house on the Temple Mount restored.

You should contact a large church and let them know that you can put them in direct contact with God Allah, for a small (large) fee. Sit back and profit!

Is God on Skype? Is his IP address 000.000.0.0? Is his email god@god.god? Otherwise he's a pretender.



I'm just glad I'm not on this particular spam/scam list.

Everybody knows God uses IPv7.

Since the rest of us haven't fully caught up to IPv6 yet, this hakes God a little hard to contact.

If you unsubscribe to god's email list, do you go to hell? I don't believe that was covered anywhere in the Gospels

God is old fashioned. I know this because he sent my father a letter (East German commies also sent my father letters, but after studying the letter us kids concluded it was God. No self respecting commy would sign a letter with a name like Nunziati.)

We desperately wanted to see the hole in the sky where God chucked the demons in but in spite of owning a telescope Dad refused to oblige. (He also refused to let us send money when we found out there where only 15 Christians in East Europe.)

God is busy but he takes his sweet time and sometimes, considering He's old, he may be a bit slow.

I think you should act as his go-between (for a small fee) and shop his political endorsement to Obama and Romney.

I have a feeling that the nature of this emergency involves being caught by spam filters.

Which raises the age old question of whether God can design a spam filter so mighty that not even He can spam it.

I'm shocked that you people believe that that email is from God.

I was going to drop God Allah a postcard at the address given in the O.P., but decided to Google the address first. P.O. Box 701 San Mateo CA 94401 belongs to dynadot.

Quote:
Dynadot is an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar and web host located in San Mateo, California. We're dedicated to providing our customers with world class registration and hosting services for a reasonable price.
One of the services they offer is a "privacy domain service".

Jesus uses the same address.

It has also been used by a number of individuals and companies that have been rejected by the BBB and/or sanctioned by the FDA.

God Allah is one cheap sleazy SOB.

You should ask him some questions only God Allah would know.

For example:

What does Muhammad really look like?

Or, if he's going with God and not Allah,

What rib did he use to create Eve?

Here's the latest message!

Help! I am Allah, God of The Religions, am now here on Earth, and asking the Press to help Me locate an organization, community or nation to receive Me. Here is all you have to do on behalf of your company, community or nation: send an email to god @llah.mobi (no spaces) or SMS/VM 707-925-2488 and say something such as "On behalf of, (your company, community, or nation) We want to welcome you, God Allah." Be sure to include your email, SMS text number (if you have one), name and phone number. Then I will contact you back through email with more information about how this applies to your company, community, or nation. If you want to learn more of God Allah (or God the Father, Christianity) see a church or mosque near you for more information. Please be advised this is a very, serious emergency for many people around the world so you were advised to communicate with Me immediately. Also, due to the nature of this emergency, it is possible there could be spiritual repercussions for your failure to comply. Thanks.
