Dumped letters to God to be donated to church
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) -- A man who found 300 letters to God floating in the Atlantic Ocean said Friday he will donate them to a church instead of selling them on eBay following protests from religious people.

The letters, sent to a deceased Baptist clergyman, mysteriously wound up in a sealed plastic shopping bag near a beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Bill Lacovara, an insurance adjuster from Ventnor, New Jersey, said he waded out to get the bag while on a fishing trip last week.

The letters were addressed to the Rev. Grady Cooper of Jersey City, New Jersey, who died in 2004. Someone cleaning his house may have discarded the bag, which Lacovara found about 100 miles from Cooper's residence.

2. And the first thing you would have read if you read the post is:
said ... he will donate them to a church instead of selling them on eBay following protests from religious people.
