LOVE the distinction between "have to" and "get to." I was always told that I didn't "have" to go to church, I "got" to. Keep up the good work and I'll keep up my recurring donation. ;)
@barakuda1111 That whole bit (you just quoted the end here) is one of my all-time favorite comic bits -- EVER! George Carlin was such an amazing writer, performer, and comedian. His death was a tremendous loss. BTW, my favorite part of that bit is just before the part you quoted. After describing the eternal torment which will come your way if you don't do exactly as He say, Carlin says: "But he loves you... he loves you, and he needs money."
One of the more brilliant episodes, in my opinion! I love this series and how you'll dish out something highly entertaining, or something highly entertaining and brilliantly thought out. LOVE IT!
@AesopRockOn The vast majority of the people who watch (or at least get) the show, do so through iTunes. It's an automatic download once you set up for it. Of course, the problem with that for us is that we can only know how many people are downloading the show, not how many watch. And I keep forgetting to tell the iTunes subscribers to go watch on RUclips too. Damn me!
2:23 "Sir that's Stockholm syndrome" "Well I'm not a big ABBA fan but I know a swede/sweet deal when I smell it" You are a genius with words! Cant stop smiling :)
Ooo, thank you SO much for the Pirates of Penzance reference. I don't know if you've seen, but it's on iTunes. :) If anyone ever offers you a show on CBS or anything, PLEASE make sure in the contract that you can still make videos for youtube.
Dammit, Mr. Deity has really great hair. Dieter Uchtdorf must of a surety be related. It's the real reason I, a bald - and thus bitter - man by Nature, am atheist.
@ibstrd Yes. And if you donate enough, you'll get both a vocal and instrumental solo. If you don't play an instrument, that's okay. We'll just put you on drums.
Because it's the only way I can continue making these. If you want to see them continue, then you donate or financially subscribe. If you don't care, you don't. But as always, they are free to everyone. Is that not a great deal?
Wow! How did I miss this video for so long? I've been saying for years...the great choices of christianity, either eternal torture or the "reward" of being god's I-pod....literally laughed so hard I sprayed Dr Pepper out my nose...(had to clean the monitor before I could type this)....great job!
@grieske Unfortunately, in January of 2010, the Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that Corporate speech was essentially the same as individual speech and that any restriction thereof was a violation of the first amendment. I think that decision will be seen (and very shorty) as we see the Dread Scott decision.
"I am the very model of an omnipotent deity, I'm masterful with miracles, history, and prophecy I can cite the holy books from Numbers to Ecclesiastes, and I know what it means when someone sits a gee."
@branfransisco9 It's from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates Of Penzance" I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General (often referred to as the Major-General's Song or Modern Major-General's Song)
@FungusyHam I don't know if I can recommend that. When I'm out and about, people bring me Bible's to sign. I always write the same thing: "Read with extreme caution."
PZ Meyers and Michael Shermer? I must be working too many hours and I missed out on this show. You are up there with Carlin and I can't believe I just heard Gilbert and Sullivan...
@Slacktoo Did Obama do it too? I know there's the famous speech were Bush says "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing" (and of course, he holds out his left and right hands respectively). Did Obama do something similar? I haven't scene it.
I really hope your indie films get really popular. If you suddenly become rich and famous the Deity eps will get more publicity and help put skepticism further into the public eye. not to mention your writing does deserve wider acclaim.
@grieske Yeah, he ran into that wall pretty hard, and pretty fast. Just remember, corporations are people too -- with rights and everything apparently. We have to respect that (or so says the Supreme Court).
@misterdeity I thought that the first amendment rights for corporations wasn't a supreme court decision, but a side note that a scribe added some years later to the proceedings of an unrelated case brought before the supreme court. Not sure, though.
At 2:30, "I'm not sure what you're talking about but I know a sweet deal when I smell it." Perfect. God really goes for sweet smells. Why does he never taste or eat?
If I'm a very wealthy man, someone needs to tell my accountant. Oh, wait... I don't have an accountant because I can't afford one. What in heaven's name are you talking about. And how would you know?
@TheBlueFalconX Hmmm. Perhaps as a scientist, he's learned a little sumfin sumfin about the principles of skepticism. I'm just throwin' stuff around here.
could anyone explain the theology/bible stories that this episode is premised on? I've never read the bible so I'm completely at a loss as far as references go.
I don't understand why you get all the hateful stuff. Why do they waste their time watching and writing to you if they do not enjoy it. I love the show, so I watch. If you do not like it, you don't find it funny, or you are going to right hateful or insulting things in the comments, just don't watch and go somewhere else.
@misterdeity Lol, I agree with him. It's pretty annoying to hear people say "herosheemuh". I think it's funny that 2 days before you posted this I was talking to someone about the same topic. :p
This is one is definitely among my favorites. I ask this to Evangelicals all the time. "Sell me on heaven. What am I getting for my sacrifice to God?"
1. Very glad you guys are back.
2. Very, very glad I'm not the only one who thinks "ABBA" when he hears "Stockholm Syndrome."
LOVE the distinction between "have to" and "get to." I was always told that I didn't "have" to go to church, I "got" to. Keep up the good work and I'll keep up my recurring donation. ;)
This is the most candid description of the doctrine of heaven I have ever seen. Well done chaps :)
"free delivery of evil or fun evil"
"......that's funny. No"
I fell out of my chair laughing.
this is the best mr. deity vid has.
it also the only 1 i keep omingback 2 see ova&

You are a genius with words! Cant stop smiling :)
You all are the sunshine in my days! I love it when a new video comes up! Love you all!
Mr Deity- At the end of the clip in the background you left open the door to give us a glimpse of 'the other place'. Doesn't look too bad to me.
Thank you so much. That's very kind. I love this episode -- one of my favorites.
It's good to know that you guys are going to be able to continue. I was worried that the money supply was going down since the decreased views. :(
Great, great, thanks a lot!!!
Your scripts are getting wittier each time. Brilliant! ;D
Brian, please please please for the love of Jesse please make more of these. I may not have money to give but I will recommend and watch them all.
this is Da BEST of all vids you ever done!
Ooo, thank you SO much for the Pirates of Penzance reference. I don't know if you've seen, but it's on iTunes. :) If anyone ever offers you a show on CBS or anything, PLEASE make sure in the contract that you can still make videos for youtube.

Yaay your coming to BC!! Really excited!
lol This shit just keeps getting funnier and funnier. Love you guys!
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse! I loved the Major General bit, because I just did Pirates of Penzance recently xD
love it!!
@ibstrd Yes. And if you donate enough, you'll get both a vocal and instrumental solo. If you don't play an instrument, that's okay. We'll just put you on drums.
fun episode always a pleasure.

OMD
Fooken awesome, already posted this video as a comic rebuttal in an ongoing forum debate.
@mestiarcanus I'm there for a four hour lay over. I want to get out and see a bit, but I don't know if I can.
Wow! How did I miss this video for so long? I've been saying for years...the great choices of christianity, either eternal torture or the "reward" of being god's I-pod....literally laughed so hard I sprayed Dr Pepper out my nose...(had to clean the monitor before I could type this)....great job!
@NegativeNick I can't do it. That was the easiest part. But I love their stuff.

Mr. D, come to Philadelphia! Or close to it, would love to see you out East!
Yeah, the literal version of Heaven is quite creepy, really.......
"I am the very model of an omnipotent deity,
I'm masterful with miracles, history, and prophecy
I can cite the holy books from Numbers to Ecclesiastes,
and I know what it means when someone sits a gee."
I get the feeling you have a lot of fun working all the 'head' jokes into the Johnny episodes.
No free willy 😂
@pandarsson Yes. It's a sign of how terrific Gilbert and Sullivan were. Good stuff.
Ha the side text reminded me of the Colbert report. nice work god
@QuasiMiranda I would love to come to the UK. But no one's invited me. :-(
@altonnukem YHWH is just Mr. Deity's code name. It's an acronym for "Your Highness With Holiness."
Absolutely genius!
@LisaPie81 That is so sweet. Thanks so much.
I love the Abba joke. That was hilarious.
@branfransisco9 It's from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates Of Penzance" I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General (often referred to as the Major-General's Song or Modern Major-General's Song)
@nequillim Thanks for the info! I had never heard of it, I'm definitely going to check it out!
oh oh oh...more deity magic in the future man that was halirious
@FungusyHam I don't know if I can recommend that. When I'm out and about, people bring me Bible's to sign. I always write the same thing: "Read with extreme caution."
HA! I couldn't ever imagine a situation where "Thy is moi" would make sense, but this did it.
"Canary up for big D"
Awesome

@SuziePenguin It's a "love gift."

Any visit to Vancouver around the time of the Kamloops one? I don't have the ability to travel out that far. Stupid grad student pay...

@Maphysto I do.

@dookiecheez Yes. It's the sound of the warp engines. Duh!
@evilmiera It does. Thanks.
I love u Bri Bri!!!! Hurry back!!!
I'll be interested to see how much Mr. Deity swag you can place in the movies.
@kroovyandcal I believe it's spelled "nuculer."
@misterdeity I thought that the first amendment rights for corporations wasn't a supreme court decision, but a side note that a scribe added some years later to the proceedings of an unrelated case brought before the supreme court. Not sure, though.
“And since you mentioned it, since you brought up the money thing...”
I didn’t realize I had. But then, of course, that’s why you’re the deif.
Is there any way to get the Mr. Deity (ringtone) intro downloaded from Verizon any time soon?
@Joerexia Wasn't sure I was pronouncing it correctly. Good to know.
Shalom Mr Deity.
@Diasanti You're very welcome!!!

@branfransisco9 "The Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance.
He's right. Playing tennis is the good life.
What kind of choir direction gesture was that supposed to be at 4:20?
@teavea10 The real question is, what's the difference?
@rightherewaiting666 I would love to come to New Orleans. But apparently, no one wants me there. I only go where I'm brought.
Does anyone aggregate all of these conference dates?
Woohoo!!!
@teavea10 Hey yeah.. bend one knee and you're standing on one leg.
Do I get to sing a solo if I donate?
What type of matches do you use for the fireplace? [don't mailbag me]
At 2:30, "I'm not sure what you're talking about but I know a sweet deal when I smell it." Perfect. God really goes for sweet smells. Why does he never taste or eat?
@MomoTheBellyDancer Yes.
@Evian622 Damn that logic thing!
See ya may 21!!!
@mignik01 I tried to get first on this (I'm dying to do that once), and I couldn't. RUclips told me there was an error. D'oh!
@GoblinXXX Yeah, that was just wrong. The original is so freakin' good. Leave it alone, people.
4:54 Bush is just naturally confused XD
Thank you so much for pronouncing Hiroshima correctly
@lazyperfectionist1 Bush jokes are still funny. It's a wonderful legacy he left us.
@Nederdien I know. Sorry.
If I'm a very wealthy man, someone needs to tell my accountant. Oh, wait... I don't have an accountant because I can't afford one. What in heaven's name are you talking about. And how would you know?

@Roenazarrek Thanks, though.
could anyone explain the theology/bible stories that this episode is premised on?
I've never read the bible so I'm completely at a loss as far as references go.
@aramar616 That's pretty good.

Sorry for my dumb question, but why do you keep asking for money at the end of your episode?
@jwissick If you're not raptured away.
