Phone Calls to God Increase

By Loath May 28, 2003 10:50 AM

A phone number used in the movie Bruce Almighty, starring Jim Carrey, is the same as the number of a church in North Carolina whose pastor's name is Bruce. Two families in Florida also have had an increase in calls due to having the same number.

What's stupid about that? People saw the movie and thought they'd try the number, it doesn't mean that they actually thought they were going to be put through to God does it?

Although most people are calling it just as a joke or to see if it's a contest line or something, I've read reports where a few people really do think they're going to talk to God, for real. So yeah, there are some really stupid people out there, as always.

Also, jewish and probably not white "enough" like the Mid-East semits. Member of so many minorities, no wonder he got crucified.

Do you know I'm trying to simulate a call to God from a girl that is late?

yeah...my whole view on it is that people feel that they need a closer connection to something spiritual...whether it be "g-d" or "jesus" or "allah". Doesn't matter who they're calling. Just as long as they are able to feel the spirit---it's all good with me :)

I'm a Christain fundimentalist, If you don't acknowledge that Jesus died for our sins then I'll come round your house and beat you about the head with a broken bottle.
