I prefer Mr. Deity to God, Inc.--much more clever writing. Yet again, Youtube did not allow me to comment or rate this series of excellent vids.

What I find interesting reading the youtube comments--youtube apparently does grant the rare favor of being allowed to actually post comments--regarding both God, Inc. and Mr. Deity vids, are that the supporters of religious superstitions like them, laugh at them, and think they are really funny and are not offended by them. Of course, there are some that are.

Episode 2 shows how canny Jesus really is--he figured out that his interview for the fully god/fully human/one third partner gig was really a setup by God for the divine version of candid camera!!!

Logicel:..."supporters of religious superstitions like them, laugh at them, and think they are really funny and are not offended by them."

You're right, and this is a phenomenon I have always found odd. Many of my Christian friends have the capacity to laugh at even their most cherished core beliefs. It is almost as though at some level they are perfectly well aware of their absurdity. Has anyone researched this?

Proof if any were needed that satire is a great art form. Since reason and logic make no impression on those with religion, perhaps mockery is the only way to go. There again, its effect is probably limited on those at whom it's aimed. I've never been paricularly struck by any of the jokes in the bible.

This comment is from Mr. Deity's own website:

Brian, what is your stand on Religion?
I am a formerly religious person (non-bitter), and as such, have great sympathies for the beliefs and feelings of religious people. I love the fact that they are concerned with the big issues like Good and Evil, Existence, Creation, etc... I don't always agree with the answers they provide to these questions, but I deeply respect their concern. Our goal here is not to mock religion, but to use it as a foundation for the humor. I'm thrilled that so many religious people have written to tell me that they love the episodes. In future episodes, I intend to turn the tables a bit and poke fun at what I call the "angry atheists" (of whom I am not fond). We'll see if they take it so well.

Mr. Deity is a hilarious send-up of the widespread, if cartoonish, understanding of Christianity. For a less cartoon-like view, one might start with Terry Eagleton's sharply critical review of "The God Delusion" (LRB v.28 n.20 dated 19 October 2006: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n20/eagl01_.html ).

RE: Comment #27367 by Graham

My guess is that Larry is the Holy spirit, and that his name is random (they don't give a lot of information about the holy spirit in the Bible, do they?). But I'm probably wrong.

Anycase... episode ( is my fav one so far! Except for the beginning of The Really Big Favor...

Never understood the holy trinity thing until the pre-Superbowel press conference huddle in episode 6:

"The Deity, the Boy & Larry!"

Guess the Holy Ghost is the "gofer" which now makes a kind of sense.

Everyone should check out the unscripted interview Brian Keith Dalton has posted on his website:

Very funny, plus Dalton explains why he started the series of shorts. Apparently he's working on a regular 30-minute series! That would be tremendous.

JSteven, thanks for the link. Wow, Dalton, is a formormon (former mormon). He is funny and it would be wonderful if he could get funding to do longer versions. It is an amazing accomplishment that so many religious people enjoy his stuff.

My favorite bit is that homosexuality was a clerical error, because Mr. Deity thought he was being asked for a list of people that will do WELL, and it was mistaken for people who would go to HELL--sort of like the comparative clerical biblical translation error of Mary being a virgin instead of just a young girl.
