Beginning yesterday, God's mail gets delivered in Holland

God's email, beginning yesterday, won't be returned to sender, at least not in The Netherlands:

AMSTERDAM—Dutch postal company TPG has decided to send all anonymous letters addressed to God to the country's evangelical broadcasting company. Up to now, the Deity's mail from the Netherlands has ended up in the wastepaper basket.

Members of the aftercare division of the EO broadcasting company will pray for the people who write the letters, clergyman Cees van Velzen, of the division, said on Monday.

And in case you were worried about people writing to different Gods:

The Christian broadcaster forwards letters addressed to Allah or other non-Christian deities to the appropriate organisation.
