# 6 / 40 – February 2008

1-800-Dial-God.

The mission statement of Religion-Outside-The-Box is to empower people to find and be with (the) God (of their understanding).

Many people tell me that they aren’t certain how to begin – that getting in touch with God seems difficult or hard.

In this regard, you can buy my book How To Find Out What (the) God (of your understanding) Wants From You.

And, I have three other, wonderful opportunities for you.

1. Write

Until recently, the Heaven Request Form was only available at seminary libraries. But thanks to the Internet, that form is now available for download. Should you care to give your feedback about the running of the universe, please click here to download the pdf.

2. Phone

Simply enter the phone number at which you would like to be contacted and God or one of the archangels will get in touch with your immediately. (Really.)

(If you do not see a graphic into which you can
enter your phone number, CLICK HERE.)

When you click, you’ll immediately receive a call from (225) 522-4116 – apparently there is some angelic field office in Louisiana – just answer the phone!

3. E-mail

Write an e-mail!

What could be easier.

Just click here.

If you didn’t –

1) download and fill out a comment card

2) click to be connected with the heavens

3) send an e-mail

I highly encourage you as a spiritual-religious exercise to think about what you would do if you were going to…

With love,

Rabbi Brian

The 77% Weekly

The 77% Weekly: The Religion-Outside-The-Box Newsletterhelps people find and be with (the) God (of their understanding) 40 out of 52 weeks a year.

Why 77%?
Two reasons:

1) 40/52 = 0.76923 and it is sent every Monday except the last of each month.
2) In school 77% was a passing grade and ROTB wants to remind you that life isn’t graded, it’s pass/fail.

Religion-Outside-The-Box is a donation-supported,
non-denominational, internet-based, 501c3-tax exempt religious congregation.

“I love you” x 3

April 1, 2026

For reasons a team of psychoanalysts might have been able to crack, my dad couldn’t get the three-word phrase “I love you” to come out of his mouth. I knew he loved us. It’s just he couldn’t say it. I rationalized that I didn’t need to hear those three words, but it hurt anyway. This is the story about how

Truth Matters

I am standing in Kenya, with my left foot in the Northern Hemisphere and my right foot in the Southern. A line on the ground indicates the equator. Young men—asking for nothing, but hoping for tips—entertain and educate tourists, like me, about the Coriolis effect. They pour water into bowls with small holes at the bottom and let the water

Stuff Gets To Me

March 6, 2026

✧✧✧ As I pack up to leave after my workout, someone asks me, “Hey, Rabbi, how are things going?” I’m not one for small talk. Especially after being called by my title. “Well,” I reply. “I’m sad.” “Why?” “I’m thinking about the girls who went to school in the morning in Minab, Iran—over a hundred of them—killed by a bomb.”
