Some pastors/priests/fathers have some very clever ideas. I love that one.

I would have thought that God was living with his time : he has a smartphone, a credit card, supports the Paris climate agreement and does not waste water. I took this picture yesterday at the source of St Bernadette in Lourdes

I have noticed those "no cell phones allowed" signs in many places, hospital, churches, doctors cabinets. I cannot believe that people must be reminded to "be polite".

@JudyEv I agree, it seems that the cell phones are the most responsible to trigger bad manners in people.

That's very true. I'm sure people take more notice of such a sign than something forbidding a certain action.

When you see a sign mobile with line on it. That means DND, at least for technical guy whose most of work happens on call -- 1 Technical Interview on Call - Known as telephonic Round 2 Handover 3 Since we got whatsapp -- Companies have made it official way of communicating. We have to update the status on whatsapp. 4 Any help to your team mate. So I am wondering - Since he is on DND how he is going to call you

He is busy helping me with my career

So don't disturb him

Wow, what a striking picture. Ever since they came out with cell phones I've become dependent on keeping one with me especially when I'm driving around. I remember those days long before cell phones being used. I had one instance when my car stalled on the highway and there was nothing close by so I had to walk miles in the heat to get to a store. Thats the kind of situation I'd need a cell phone for.

I agree @JudyEv I don't think walking around in a store or on the street with your ear to the phone is a place for them either, I much prefer to sit somewhere private if I have to answer my cell when I am out and about.

I thought God did have a phone when we were in Jerusalem. In the Temple area, near the Wailing Wall, nearly every religious Jew had a mobile phone and was talking rapidly and in a loud voice into it.

@JudyEv At the very least, one can carry a mobile phone and keep in silent mode, as I do. However, it is irritating in a temple or any other place of worship that people's mobile phones ring with some latest Bollywood tunes, or other music.

That's a great sign, with a great message! Sadly, when I am in church I can always look around and see people on their smartphones during the church service. I'm pretty sure they are not texting God or commenting on any of his Facebook statuses! They need to put their phones away and pay attention to the sermon!

You'd think the phone could stay at home for the hour or so they're at church.
