A saying is that what's funny is funny because it's true. You make a lot of deep philosophical points, and I enjoy the fact that some of them I've never heard spoken elsewhere. New ideas with humor are great.
@aikimark1955 In Luke 23:43 Jesus tells a fellow crucified 'Truly I tell you, today you will be in paradise with me'. So the bible says Jesus (being a god) was dead for NO TIME at all ... there was no sacrifice involved.
Yeah, it's obvious in some of Paul's letters that he was reassuring his churches when people started dying before Jesus rejoined the party. It was a bit "WTF?" even then.
This isn't an original idea (its called Docetism). Some Gnostic taught that since Jesus only had a spiritual body, when he was carrying the cross, stumbled and Simon of Cyrene picked it up, Jesus used his magical powers to transform Simon into his likeness and made himself invisible. Simon was the one who was crucified. Jesus had a good laugh during the whole thing. (maybe you think I'm kidding, but this is all real: it occurs in the Gospel of Peter among other places. Cf. John Dart's The Laughing Savior).
Now that I think about it, its referenced in The Life of Brian too. One of the other convicts carrying his cross in the same procession as Brian is "helped" by some generous soul who take his cross so he can rest for a moment. The convict runs off and the Roman soldiers, naturally assume that since he do-gooder is carrying a cross he is the one to be crucified.
HConstantine Read the Gospel of Peter 20 years ago (was that Nag Hamadi?) but I had completely forgotten that. Thanks for reminding me. And of course, I love the Life of Brian stuff.
Yay! indeed. If McDonald's ever pays me more money, maybe I'll send some of it your way. Until then, all I can do is likes on your videos, a subscription to your channel, being your friend on Facebook, and maybe a snarky reply to your FB posts once in a while.
I really feel sorry when I watch the begging section even though it's just a joke. I wish I could support. Unfortunately, I'm just a poor grad student.
Pramod Herath It's the thought that counts. Unless you're talking about money. Then it's totally the money that counts. Ha!!! You're the reason those with means should step up. Most of what I do is to give young people some ammunition. And they can never afford to support the show. But I really do appreciate the sentiment and hope you enjoyed the episode guilt-free. If you feel bad, it ruins it for me. And it's all about me. 😉
+misterdeity Thank you for your reassuring words! Will surely contribute when I can. Meanwhile I hope my contributions to science through my PhD work will contribute to reduce religious ignorance in the world.
misterdeity - I do wish you had millions more views as the content you provide us is more than worth it. But I'm guessing your dry humour, satirical style, clever wit, and painful parody all delivered with well seasoned intelligence, simply goes over the head of the average Trump supporter. And a few others - but they don't matter...you are going to be discovered any day now :) I'd love to financially support you, but I've only recently risen from nothing to abject poverty.
What is my political stance or what are your videos? Gosh, such cryptic words. I'll concede your videos are liberal; however, your brand of liberalism is different than my own. Libertarians are self-serving. They don't want speed limits because that restricts their freedom. Of course, they fail to understand those limits aren't meant to protect them but to protect the rest of us from them. Conservatives, well, I was once among them until I realized (literally) having several generations of the same family living in the same trailer park was unproductive. My stance is simple... Reason must rule. But, again, our versions of reason are not the same.
“I work in misogynist ways!” LOL. The satire on these videos is simply spot on. Too bad the people who need to watch them probably never will.

Erina R Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. You've made my fortnight!
Get this guy some more patreons. He's awesome!
Love your work Mr B. Please, please, please, please keep 'em coming.
Sweet! Finally another Mr. Deity sketch :D
The begging bit is back!
Finally a new Mr.Deity 😁
Oh. My. Glob! That was brilliant!
Brilliant and funny! Thanks Mr. D!
Nailed it.
Adorable as always!!
Tell Jesse he doesn't die for our sins. He just gives up a weekend for our sins.
And then he gets to run the family company.

I've been waiting for a new one!
'What can I tell you? I work in misogynist ways... :-D
I love your word plays! I always wonder how you can come up with such things.
Dragon Curve Enthusiast They just come to me. It's what happens when you spend so much time thinking and writing about this stuff.
That's amazing. They never come to me. :-D
Thanks for sharing them with us!
*shrugs shoulders* I'm good at other things...
Oh God, I love this. Thanks Mr D!
"...and I say this as an immoral being--"
HAHAHA
Those Christians always want to stick their holy cross where it doesn't belong ...
Like between the 'r' and the 'a'.
SOOOOO happy Mr Deity sketches are back! thank you thank you thank you thank you.....thank you! cash is on its way!
"I'm outta here". Brilliant
Mr. Deity is my Spirit Animal
Corvus So much awesome!!!
sorry it took so long; enjoy your channel; wish it could be more.
I just donated $20 on Paypal. I first watched the video maybe a decade ago. A lot has changed. - Shui
I'm just here for the begging segment
InnocuousRemark I suspect you're not alone. Hope I didn't disappoint.
One of the best ones yet!
Jesse Wept.
swiggydiggy Hahahaha!!!

Yes it is. Anthony Burgess said that the composition of literature was the recollection of things once learned, but consciously forgotten.
From the title I thought it was going to be about Scientology and Tom Cruise (who clearly needs a stunt double).
Peter Cockerell Hahahaha!!!!
Let me get to pay day.

Ray Arias love it all!!!
Look ... If Harrison Ford can do his own stunts, Jesus can suck it up and skip the stand-in!
OK, I'm in! But, sorry, I was a patreon suporter already.
fudgesauce D'oh!!! I mean... thanks so much!!!
5:44 the end of Mister Deity as a show was a legit travesty.
giggity!
Wait, I thought Jesus didn't even have to go down anymore?
Ian MathWiz You're expecting consistency from this show when it's based on the Bible?
Fair point. XD

Sucks you get so views, this show rocks.
benway23 Right?!!!!!!
An immoral being! ROFL!
👍😂
its not a great job really.
Your check is in the mail.
Just saying....
Reminds me of the gospel of Judas
no game of thrones geeks! harsh
The commenter beneath me chokes his chicken for fun.
Stick to these kinds of videos.
DK Kempion Libertarian or Conservative?

Underwhelming.
Well, they can’t all be winners, can they?
@@misterdeity au contraire! It was great satire in the best tradition of Bob Newhart.
@@georgekatkins Thanks. But I hope you’re not just saying that to be an au contrairian.
