$2.95 for a message from God?

So I was sitting here watching the tv when I happened to stumble across an ad on tv advertising 'messages from God'. It gave a number you could call and state your problem and then you would receive an SMS from God in return with some words of wisdom. Now I don't know about to you, but I think that it's a little unrealistic to think that God is sitting up there with a mobile phone in his hand ready to send us back a message! I mean what's next? God will be tweeting us? maybe we could add him as a facebook friend! or perhaps we could even skype! Now there's an idea! (note: sarcasm)

Now despite being skeptical, I'm not going to rule out the possibility that somehow God has established a link us with us through SMS however I am concerned that the ad says that the message will cost you $2.95 to send and receive! Really? $2.95 for a real message from God...hmm maybe therapists should quit now! why spend $100 an hour talking about your problems to a trained professional when you can spend just $2.95 and receive advice from the man upstairs. I mean if anyone is going to know how to solve your problem, it's going to be the guy who created it in the first place.

Seriously wake up people! if you really buy into this scam, than consider this: If God is really trying to communicate with us through SMS then why do we have to pay for his advice. Shouldn't he love us enough to give it for free?
