Posted meaning no disrespect to my many American friends, family members, and allies:
A telephone to God?
A photographer on vacation was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.
The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for
$10,000 you could talk to God.
The American thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.
He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.
She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.
'O.K., thank you,' said the American.
He then traveled to Indianapolis , Washington DC , Philadelphia
Boston and New York .
In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same '$10,000 per call' sign under it.
The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel up to Canada to see if Canadians had the same phone.
He arrived in Canada , and again, in the first church he entered,
there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '50 cents per call.'
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Father, I've traveled all over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the US the price was$10,000 per call.
Why is it so cheap here?'
The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Canada now, son ... it's a local call.'

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.They are using a phone instead of the church bell to call god. It should be toll free!!!

Many numbers for many gods lol
@Cutiebeauty Yeah Yeah that's the ticket, totally slipped my mind!
Makes people feel like they have some options, or some control. LOL
@Cutiebeauty Maybe God is still hooked up to party line, if anyone remembers what those are. LOL
Could they have a shared Bluetooth speaker option? But Gods can probably just tune in; they're 'all knowing' after all. LOL
Very cute 
what happened to free praying lol

When was praying for free ever a thing? Tithe sista or the big dog can't hear you. 
I will say, the first time I visited your Quetico Provincial park I remember thinking to myself that if a God existed, that is where you'd find him.

Wow, that brought back 50 year old memories. And you're absolutely right. What's great is that there are equally magical parks like Quetico here in BC.
I figured the punch line would be along the lines that each gold phone simply called another gold phone and who answered pretended to be "god".

Sounds like a do-able phone scam. Charge callers $4.00 per minute to talk to some guy making $8.00 per hour to pretend to be God.
That is what happens when the obstructionist republican fascists and their wealthy owners and their corporations installed and own the telephone company!!!

A bit on the backward side aren't they?
Haven;'t they heard as yet that this IS the 21st. Century, there are new fangled things called "Cell Phones," the Internet, Twitter and the like these days?
Maybe Alexander Grahame Bell has just been way, way too busy being on his aged knees singing the praises of God to keep up with modern times...LOL.
