They&#8217;ve been out there awhile as they are now in Season 3, so they&#8217;re more new to me than new.  Nonetheless, they have a delightfully irreverent take on God as everyman.  In some ways, it&#8217;s kind of like Heaven meets Mt. Olympus in that the Greeks imagined their gods with human desires and weaknesses.  This series rather supposes the Christian god in that mold.  You&#8217;ll meet Larry, Mr. Deity&#8217;s personal assistant, Lucy, the woman who runs the underworld yet still seems to be Mr. Deity&#8217;s love interest in the series, and Jesse, Lucy and Mr. Deity&#8217;s only begotten son as they wrestle with the details of creation, the publication of the bibles, and other mysteries of faith.  You can view the whole series <a href=\"http:\/\/mrdeity.com\/\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>I suspect for some of you I may have just destroyed the productivity of an otherwise fruitful Monday.
