Send God a Tweet on Twitter
August 19, 2009
I was reading this article about one man’s quest to help people get their message to God using Twitter. An Israeli student who lives in Tel Aviv asks tweeters (the word to denote those who use Twitter) to send him their prayer requests. He prints them, drives to Jerusalem and then:
places [them] in the crevices of Jerusalem’s Western Wall, a Jewish holy site that faithful believe provides a direct line to the Almighty.
What do you think about this use of Twitter? Is it “more prayer, more power” or does it remind people that they don’t have a direct line to God? Leave your comments below.

Got something to say?
I believe that doing such a thing is completely unnecessary when we have a direct line to God in prayer. Things like this is slightly reminiscent of absolution of sins done by priests of the Catholic faith, which also is unnecessary because we have a high priest in heaven who is good and willing to forgive us if we happen to fall into sin.
And really, it’s too much work to get to God that way, if you don’t have an account on Twitter, you would have to make one, wait for this relay person in Tel Aviv to print it and put it in a crevice. How would you know for sure that the message had been sent? Would it be like an online purchase when you get an expected time of delivery? And when the message was received by God, would you get a Tweet saying message received?
Way too complicated.
