    I take it to mean something like this:

    Put your money in the coinslot of the prayphone (collection plate), and say what is on your mind (pray). God can’t talk right now,as he is away on business, but I’ll let Him know you called.

    I heard this guys name thrown around on some music sites I was a member of but had no idea who he was. I look him up and remember seeing his performance on the Letterman Show but I didn’t end up hearing his name. But now I know who he is and my god is he awesome

    I don’t think (forgive me if they have) they’ll ever give out one for any portrayal of the devil, its not “PC”. The only way I think it would happen is if the devil himself came out of and told every one he was even impressed.
