Surely as 'God' is deemed to be omnipresent they can send the letters ANYWHERE and he will receive them.....

Surely if God is God and therefore omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent, he would not have to answer to a 'human' court? A bit like ants trying to start a legal case against a human being. They can try all they want but you're not gonna take any notice of them!
