Christian Web News - In the Netherlands there is an art exhibition opening and will allow people to call a telephone number designated for God, but they will have to leave a message.
Dubbed God's Hotline, it aims to focus attention on changes to the ways Dutch people perceive religion.
Dutch artist Johan van der Dong chose a mobile phone number to show that God was available anywhere and anytime, Radio Netherlands reported.
Critics say the project mocks those with religious beliefs.
Forming part of an art installation in the town of Groningen, the voicemail message says: "This is the voice of God, I am not able to speak to you at the moment, but please leave a message."
The hotline is officially launched on Saturday, but the phone number has been active for the past week, with 1,000 messages left on the answerphone.
The messages are to remain confidential and will not form part of the art project.
Van der Dong told Radio Netherlands: "I'm not a pastor, I'm an artist and I won't listen to the messages.
"It's a secret between the Lord and the people who are calling."
Exhibition spokeswoman Susanna Groot said there was no intention to offend anyone.
"In earlier times you would go to a church to say a prayer and now [this is an] opportunity to just make a phone call and say your prayer in a modern way."
Instead, the aim is to provoke debate about the priorities of modern life.
For the next six months the phone line will remain open.
Christian Web News - Jesus has a way of getting right to the point, doesn't He? There was certainly no mincing of words, He came right out and said, "why are you fearful?" and then went on to say, "O you of little faith." You don't have to read between the lines to see what He was saying, they had little faith.
Christian Web News - Galatians 3:13-14. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree''), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
