Some Links brought to you by Friendster, I mean Facebook

I’m always posting some interesting links up on my FB profile. I used to be one of those annoying people who linked their Twitter account to Facebook, thus all my friends then get the impression I’m a serious alcoholic or an out-and-about partyer. Then I used Selective Twitter, so no one sees every single tweet, which is now moot since I haven’t tweeted much lately. Getting back to the good ol’ FB profile, I now post a lot of links to express myself instead of giving every little bit of mundane piece of information.

The gifts of God for the people of God: Here, Mr. Deity is pleased with himself about his gifts for his people, but Lucy is appalled. To make matters worse, she tells him what the Greek gods are giving their people. If you were a deity, which gifts would you choose for your people?

Larry/Deity 05 & 6


Mr. Deity mentions the various power loungers such as Genghis Khan and Britney Spears, who seem to demonstrate that there is rest for the wicked. ;-)


As usual, Mr. Deity smiles and laughs through a blunder he incompetently executed, this one being the venture of Jonah. Proof that prophets need hazard pay.

Mr. Deity and the Scripts


A very interesting discussion between Jesus and Mr. Deity about the Gospels, AKA scripts. Enacting four different versions of the same play can be difficult… and confusing. Who knew Jesus had a Brokeback thing for the Apostle John?

Larry/Mr. Deity Interviews 1 & 2

In some “lost footage,” Larry interviews Mr. Deity about some obscure, but seemingly important theological items.


What is the baptism of fire? What did Jesus mean by this statement? In true Mr. Deity style, it turns into a blunder.


The truth behind Jesus’s transport animal where the Jerusalem crowd greeted him with palms and sang to him “Hosanna.”
