      I suspect that such a service would be legal in the U.S.  The
difference between that and the lines run by some televangelists is
slight.

[Moderator's Note: I really don't think I could start a 900 line and
purport to be Goddess, without having the Federal Bureau of
Inquisition breathing down my neck; freedom of religion and speech not
withstanding. I know I'm simply divine :), but I don't think it would
fly here either. I could offer prayers to Goddess; interpret and
explain Her wishes; deny Her existence, i.e. "Dial The Athiest" in
Austin, TX; but I don't think I could claim to be Goddess without
running afoul of the law.  PAT]
