Have you ever wondered what God really looks like? Is it the same as when you first conceived of God? Does our view of God change with age and geography and what are the consequences of our convictions?

“God in a box” is the title of a documentary movie published in 2011 by Nathan Lang.

It was developed by entrepreneur Varun Mayya.

If you do not believe me, and I would not hold it against you, check:

The installation is very easy. After having registered, you open your Whatsapp application and send god a message to confirm your phone number. You will then receive and heavenly answer, and it will be automatically added to your list of friends and family.

You are allowed to ask 10 questions for free per month. If you need more dedication from it, you may subscribe for a fee.
