"Evolution isn't science. It's religion!" *Translation:* "I know you are, but what am I?" "Gay marriage is an attack on religious freedom!" *Translation:* "We feel oppressed if we can't oppress other people!" The list goes on...
I have no doubts that unlike many apologists, Reza Aslan absolutely knows he is lying most of the time. And what makes him dangerous is that he's quite good at sounding convincing, especially when he presents himself as an expert and a scholar in areas that he is not.
Double bonus video night for me. Saw this freshly posted Mr D. video, featuring Lucy, while waiting for the start of Season 6 of the Venture Brothers. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I always get back 10,000,000 times the amount money I put in the lottery. Always! And since I have no intention of ever starting to buy lottery tickets, I fully expect this huge rate of return to continue.
OMG thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you I loved the new begging segment (BTW the Mr. Deity video part was pretty good too LOL) Brian you have answered my prayers for more Mr. Deity, Does that mean you have a direct line to Mr. Deity? I've always thought that you have an rather eerie resemblance to him. With this suspiciously intimate relationship you must know that I have been praying for you to be inspired and write some new episodes,. But of course how can you not be with a muse like "Lucy". I'm so glad you are still working together to create such quality performances. And speaking about the sex appeal angle I totally agree, Amy's final little giggle was sooo sexy, I think I'm in love with the devil!
+misterdeity along with the evidence of your other intellectual accomplishments this fact proves that you are indeed a wise man, and by logical progression, as I am indeed in your august company, so am I LOL
I hadn't known that The Great Pumpkin Face had said, "Two Corinthians 3:17. That’s the whole ball game." 8 years ago. I looked it up and apparently in an interview the same year he said that he didn't want to name a favorite Bible verse because it was very personal. So, which came first? Well, I looked up the verse, which doesn't make any sense, so I found a Bible site that spent four paragraphs to explain the revealed truth which was one sentence long. Trump didn't/couldn't even repeat the whole sentence.
Brian, I love you. And you had better have lube. :) I am not in any position to be generous but life is not the same without your witty and comical (and meaningful) preponderances on religion. I have reluctantly donated from my limited resources - but only because I (and I am assured many others too) want you to continue in your efforts. Keep up the magnificent work and I hope you get tons of donations that amount to enough to continue to be awesome. You are awesome and, no, thank you! Thank you very much! Keep on keeping on, my friend.
I love your stuff, and if I wasn't dirt poor I'd be contributing like nobody else, you betcha. Maybe when I win the Powerball. I realize I could take the money I spend on the lottery and just give it to you, but I'll be able to do so much more when I actually win. I'm sure you understand.
rppdfire ye must sharpen yer eyes and blooden yer knives to gets thee the good stuff, laddie. * Rolls single bloodshot berserker eye in your general direction *
I love the Sander's minions. They've got the spirit and the intellect to overthrow the Big Kahoona. That means Mr Deity's true believers will 'Feel the Bri".
+fylosofer That was part of the joke. He doesn't even know his own "anthology." Plus, comedically, 3 Peter sounds so much funnier than 3 John. Although, I think I could have made that work too. Ha!!!
+misterdeity You are right, I misunderstood from someone else's comment. I guess the problem was with my phone or the youtube app then. It's really unpredictable what works on mobile and what doesn't.
Sorry to hear you didn't win the lottery. I was going to say I'll pray for you, but if you were wearing your lucky socks, had found a four leaf clover, AND had watched Silver Linings Playbook in the recent past as you say, prayer seems unlikely to alter your luck as significantly as the steps you had already taken. Frankly if those things weren't sufficient to make you win, I can't see what additional steps you could reasonably take. I think you should contact the organisers to complain. I am certain that if you just explain things properly, they will just give you the money, after all, miracles DO happen!
You keep referring to Allah as if it were different from the Judeo Christian God. Muslims are descended from Ishmael, and technically still a Judeo religion, even though they don't want to admit it. After all, denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
+Hikaru Katayamma Technically, you're right. But pragmatically, the fact that they all want to kill each other over their idea of God, kinda makes your point mute.
misterdeity True, but I never get tired of pointing out to (Christians/Muslims) that they're worshiping the same Jewish God. The look on their face once they connect the dots makes my day. Of course, they'll deny it to save their circular logic that "their version of god is superior," but every so often one of them will break out of the loop and actually start learning something new for a change. You know, having all the versions of the Judeo Gods sitting together and playing poker (all being you in different outfits) could make for a hilarious segment. :)
If a candidate's religion is an acceptable metric to judge them by then a candidate's lack of religion must be similarly acceptable. You must convince people to judge that aspect of a candidate's character as you think they should. This isn't synonymous with judging a persons race since an atheist can choose to believe in gods where a black person can't choose to be white.
+FishBallista An atheist cannot choose to believe in a god/gods. It's like saying "I choose to believe that the sun is emitting darkness unto a world of light" and then ACTUALLY believe it wholeheartedly. I mean, could you take something you are quite sure about and then change your mind without any new information? Religion = You base your life around a book and tries to follow it. Atheism = You've a clean slate and how you choose to live your life is individually. So being an atheist doesn't tell you sh*t about their morals (many have probably better morals because they're allowed to be open minded) and therefore nothing about their character.
Good points, I shouldn't have said 'choose,' since you can't choose to beleive something you don't think is true. I should have instead said that it isn't a characteristic inherent to them which they can't to change. Being an atheist does tell you something about that persons morals. It tells you that they don't have religeously based morals which is something voters are likely to be interested in.
+FishBallista I'm still not quite satisfied with your points. I can't change the fact, that I'm an atheist. The fact could change if new and convincing evidence turned up. But maybe I'm splitting hairs here.You're right, voters might (and should) be interested in a persons atheism, because it tells them that he or she goes where the evidence leads. Not sure, but I think you could call that morals.
+FishBallista I think once you announce that you follow the morals of a God who has committed and commanded genocide, you should be out of the running -- at least in terms of morality.
Why is Lucy more caring and understanding than Mr Deity? its as if Mr D is lucifer and Lucy is god. Wheres the cruelty, wheres all the supposed bad things lucifer/lucy is meant to be behind?
+experiment54 Lucifer is the loyal opposition. And the God of Abraham -- as outlined in Holy Scripture -- is an absolutely, uncaring, unfeeling asshole. Do the math.
+experiment54 I imagine Christians feel that Lucifer is a really evil and bad character, but what does the bible actually credit him with? He's mentioned in Job, and in that book it's only God that inflicts pain and punishment. Christians, like Mr. Deity, see him only as opposition, but since they start with the premise that God is good, that must make Lucifer bad by default.
misterdeity +Supernova Kasprzak so you are both saying people should all rally behind lucifer and support his assault and rebellion against god? (thats what he did right to get punished by god?)
experiment54 I don't believe that Lucifer exists any more than I believe God exists (and I think his existence would certainly by much harder to prove). So I don't "support" Lucifer... that's silly talk. The bible doesn't even have this story of Lucifer "rebelling against God" (and certainly not "assaulting God"). The rebellion is inferred from a story in Isaiah taken out of context that's clearly talking about a real-life king. There isn't even an implication that it has anything to do with an angel. So we're left with exactly one story about Lucifer, and that's the one found in Job. Since we aren't told about assault, rebellion, or even a single evil deed about Lucifer in that story, everything else about Lucifer is simply assumed by Christians.
+mr. Whitaker Actually, she's not. We've been divorced since 2012. But we're still nuts about each other and don't really do well apart. It's very stupid.
"I'm not a mathematologist" omg that is so funny!! I love Mr. Diety videos, so great, thank you!
"I loves me the peter!" Things like this is why I loves me the show.
Either Lucy gets prettier every year or you're a lighting genius Mr. D.
+stiimuli Why can't it be both?
"I loves me the peter." I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes!
Your videos are always very refreshing 😊😊 keep it up!!!!
"...and not just late at night."
I literally lol'ed myself!
+beanfilms ...and not just late at night?
"Evolution isn't science. It's religion!"
*Translation:*
"I know you are, but what am I?"
"Gay marriage is an attack on religious freedom!"
*Translation:*
"We feel oppressed if we can't oppress other people!"
The list goes on...
+Cloe Jarozenski Great points! You're nailing it every time.
Amy is pure gold.
She’s the best!!!
When Lucifer (Lucy) shows up..
I'm there for it! 😂
"I have always preferred 1 Peter".
LMAO
I realize that it's not appropriate. but I'm totally crushing on Amy.
she is indeed a babe!
I'm so glad that Atheism and Agnosticism are the fastest growing group in the world. #UseYourBrain
+Ankur Roy Me too!!!
+ericsbuds WOW! That is so nice!!! You made my fortnight!
I have no doubts that unlike many apologists, Reza Aslan absolutely knows he is lying most of the time. And what makes him dangerous is that he's quite good at sounding convincing, especially when he presents himself as an expert and a scholar in areas that he is not.
Yeah, to me there's hardly anyone lower than that dishonest scumbag.
Your last six words were entirely unnecessary.
Am I hearing fire in Lucy's side? Nice touch!
One of the best. Subtle but direct to the point. And great points.
This might be my favorite episode ever of Mr. Deity.
Essay's and mean speeches oh god forbid. lol
I should get Peter together with Aslan. Comedy gold!
thanks for helping me understand the poit of that joke
IF there was a god, I'd go to hell ... Just to hang with Lucy ...
Double bonus video night for me. Saw this freshly posted Mr D. video, featuring Lucy, while waiting for the start of Season 6 of the Venture Brothers. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I always get back 10,000,000 times the amount money I put in the lottery. Always! And since I have no intention of ever starting to buy lottery tickets, I fully expect this huge rate of return to continue.
I wanna wrap myself in Lucys hair
Once you hear the rattling sound on Lucy's end, you can't unhear it.
+Three Cool Cats Maybe you already worked this one out, but it's the sound of a crackling fire ;)
Like, y'know, Lucy might be well known for.
It's distracting though XD
Lucy's got great delivery.
"The Republicans?" HAHAHAHA!!!
Blasphemy! No socks can be luckier socks than Gumby & Pokey socks
Holy shit Lucy gets better looking every year
yes!!!
Now I'm all petered out. ;-)
Don;'t understand how, with all those computers and all those smart people in Sacramento, they just can't guess my lottery number!
Yay for another great episode!
Also, I'm a bit late, but I want to wish you and yours a happy and prosperous new year.
I shed a tear when you revealed that you did not win the lottery. I am deeply sorry for your loss- or lack of gains.
You're great and all but having Amy back as your foil makes you a winner.
Once again, great stuff! Thank you thank you thank you thank you...I'm off to the website to donate.
+justask7676 You're my new best friend. Call me!!!
This may be the best begging segment yet.
I love you Mr. Deity. and i just rewatched gumby shows last night and i wish i had some socks
2160p? That must be more pixels than real life.
+KonguZya It's actually 17 pixels more than real life. Good guess.
OMG thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you I loved the new begging segment (BTW the Mr. Deity video part was pretty good too LOL) Brian you have answered my prayers for more Mr. Deity, Does that mean you have a direct line to Mr. Deity? I've always thought that you have an rather eerie resemblance to him. With this suspiciously intimate relationship you must know that I have been praying for you to be inspired and write some new episodes,. But of course how can you not be with a muse like "Lucy". I'm so glad you are still working together to create such quality performances. And speaking about the sex appeal angle I totally agree, Amy's final little giggle was sooo sexy, I think I'm in love with the devil!
+Tim Kiehl Join the crowd.
+misterdeity along with the evidence of your other intellectual accomplishments this fact proves that you are indeed a wise man, and by logical progression, as I am indeed in your august company, so am I LOL
Both segments great this time! :0)
I would donate just for the mathematologist line, but I can't. Perhaps someone can do so in my stead.
Dude! I want a Feel the Bri graphic!
+Mac McCarthy Just email me directly. It's mrdeity and that @ symbol plus mrdeity and the dot com thingy.
Brilliant!
UA-cam says this was added 3 minutes ago... and yet at 9+ minutes there are already people commenting on the whole episode!
+nacoran Yes, because people who donate to Brian's Patreon account get advanced screening privileges...
No worries Bri Bri, you're welcome welcome welcome! =o)
I hadn't known that The Great Pumpkin Face had said, "Two Corinthians 3:17. That’s the whole ball game." 8 years ago. I looked it up and apparently in an interview the same year he said that he didn't want to name a favorite Bible verse because it was very personal. So, which came first?
Well, I looked up the verse, which doesn't make any sense, so I found a Bible site that spent four paragraphs to explain the revealed truth which was one sentence long. Trump didn't/couldn't even repeat the whole sentence.

I have reluctantly donated from my limited resources - but only because I (and I am assured many others too) want you to continue in your efforts. Keep up the magnificent work and I hope you get tons of donations that amount to enough to continue to be awesome. You are awesome and, no, thank you! Thank you very much! Keep on keeping on, my friend.
+Robert Templeton Well, now I can't get that damned "Everything is Awesome" song out of my head. But thanks so much!!!
I'm trying to picture Mr D and Yhwach Bach being in the same room 😂
I love your stuff, and if I wasn't dirt poor I'd be contributing like nobody else, you betcha. Maybe when I win the Powerball. I realize I could take the money I spend on the lottery and just give it to you, but I'll be able to do so much more when I actually win. I'm sure you understand.
+Dave Stewart Absolutely! Understood. And welcomed.
I really like this show, wish you had more actual subscribers so the support sections didn't have to be so long :/ although they are often funny too!
+Airehcaz And they are ALWAYS at the end -- after the episode. No one has to watch the BS if they don't want to.
+misterdeity and that is definitely appreciate! :) I've donated a few times and I hope you get to keep this going! it's so funny
+misterdeity This is America and this is your content, and whenever you're on camera talking people should listen, you're great
oh....no...the end. You went there.
+sqlblindman I respond to childishness with childishness. It's the adult in me.
always creative, funny, and brutally true
That's some unusually hectic cross-cutting in the first fourth of the vid O.O
can't hear you, gotta start your sentence with Arrrrrrr, or how else will I know your talking.
rppdfire
ye must sharpen yer eyes and blooden yer knives to gets thee the good stuff, laddie.
* Rolls single bloodshot berserker eye in your general direction *
LMAO.... Big Momma's House?
I love the Sander's minions. They've got the spirit and the intellect to overthrow the Big Kahoona.
That means Mr Deity's true believers will 'Feel the Bri".
Should never have given up those Mormon undies if you wanted to win the Powerball.
Hahahahahah!!!
Your people. The republicans? Hah!
PS I don't think you need to win the Powerball. Look at your salt and pepper mills!
Hi Mr Deity, I wanted to give you a donation but can't find where I can just donate once, not every month...please guide me, amen.
+jomay78 mrdeity.com/donate.html
+mumubear123 thanks. done.
Lotus, loads of trouble usually serious, as this video explains.
I miss Larry. #misterdeityReunion. Now, it I was only on twitter.
omg I did win though, thanks Mr.Deity.
+Jack Bandit Please tell me the check is in the mail.
Feelin' the Bri brah.
"...astonishing sex appeal." You know it. ;)
Mr. D, what would you actually spend your winnings on if you did win the power-ball money?
I would be making movies - feature films. Some just for fun. Others to promote my world view.
@misterdeity 3 Peter? Lucy must be referring to an early draft of your anthology. 3 Peter was not included in the final release.
+fylosofer That was part of the joke. He doesn't even know his own "anthology." Plus, comedically, 3 Peter sounds so much funnier than 3 John. Although, I think I could have made that work too. Ha!!!
Awesome video!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. It's one of my recent favorites too!
This is why I don't gamble. It's a waste of time!
I am atheisming all over!
Me too! lol.
...And look at your nice house with expensive furniture and even expensive salt and pepper shakers....
+Rayvn7 Table and chairs: $250. Couch: $399. I just make things look expensive. And, you're welcome.
Magnificent!
Patreon. Hope my job holds on or I'll have to drop out again.
+Rand Huso Good luck!!!
Are you related in any way to Q?
Well, he's definitely not related to Amanda as she intervened to save lives. 😘
Essays! Can you believe it?
+AdvocatusDiaboliFin It's barbaric! Think of all the lives lost due to these essays!!!
+Gezere9 Ahhh, Words, my trigger.
+AdvocatusDiaboliFin And books, did you know that there's more than 1 books on Atheism!!!
CloudN9ne2010
Whoa! Watch where you're pointing those words they might go off!!
Chaos-Blades What blasphemy is this!
Gezere9
I know, it shocked me deep to the core to hear about it!
Are you talking about anyone in particular this time?
+ThePharphis In the Deity, I'm talking about Reza Aslan. Is that what you're asking?
misterdeity Yes I think so. Thanks
You know what? I think I'll subscribe. You're hip. So hip that it makes me feel less terrified about getting older.
That is one of the most backhanded compliments I've ever received. Well, played, miss. Well, played!
"not just late at night"?
Did Mr. D actually say, "When my shit comes in."? The word was just not in the CC.
No. Never used that language with Mr D. Nothing but assland. This is one of my favorites, btw!
When Mr. Deity talks he sounds a lot like Trump...
MD knows bigger words though, he doesn’t make random noises, and he doesn’t play air accordion.
Who is the blonde lady? I want to take her to the local church's ice cream social.. Maybe even hold her hand! :D
That's my ex-wife, Amy. We still go out, but I'll let her know.
misterdeity please understand that I meant it as a joke. But she is very attractive. :-)
Not as funny as the last episode, but Lucy is always good to see.
+todd waters It's actually 13.2% funnier than the last one. I think you probably missed a few of the jokes. I'd rematch it if I were you.
2 corinthians haha. Subtle trump joke.
+Brian Chapman Damn! I was hoping for a complete lack of subtlety.
10,300,000 total views equal 10,300,000 viewers?
Ehm I have to confess I have watched more than one episode of the show. Am I in violation?
+Henri Zwols You're the one? Well, thanks for admitting it.
I only get awful video quality for mobile in this vid, probably the weird aspect ratio isn't worth it.
+Anston [Music] The UA-cam video is letterboxed, so I don't think that would matter. And it's not weird. It's cinema standard 1.85:1. DCI 4K.
+misterdeity
You are right, I misunderstood from someone else's comment.
I guess the problem was with my phone or the youtube app then.
It's really unpredictable what works on mobile and what doesn't.
The proof for faith is miracles. Were god real what is deemed miraculous would be standard physics
Deity-freaking-damn it, it makes me cringe when I see the subscriber count for misterdeity is only 65k. This is just SO FREAKING WRONG!
+Fabio “Petrucio” Stange But you are so freakin' right!!!
4:30 But it's true that some guys have two. Or more.
It would be awesome to feature a recurring role for Muhammed. Would that be too close to the Jesus and Mo cartoons?
+PS Wright (Splot Publishing) I want to live!
And I want you to live. Still, it would be a fun premise. The Bible Reloaded has started Q'ran Reloaded. Maybe see if they survive and then...?
funny that the ex preacher begs like a preacher for your $
+Crusher O'Lies it's a web show, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. or do you hate capitalism?
Sorry to hear you didn't win the lottery. I was going to say I'll pray for you, but if you were wearing your lucky socks, had found a four leaf clover, AND had watched Silver Linings Playbook in the recent past as you say, prayer seems unlikely to alter your luck as significantly as the steps you had already taken.

+mr. Whitaker Just admiring from afar. By court order.
+mr. Whitaker Actually, she's not. We've been divorced since 2012. But we're still nuts about each other and don't really do well apart. It's very stupid.

I am glad that I can still be atheist and align myself with any religions. I am not bothered by it day to day, I just don't believe in god.
+JC DA ARSONIST But can the religions align with you?
please don't explain the whole lucy thing to anyone. comedy is no fun when we see it disemboweled and dragged into the sunlight.
