They say the Almighty works in mysterious ways and, in this case, it's through Facebook.
We've all had those friend requests that we leave in limbo for longer than we should, but for one self-proclaimed "pesky atheist who wants to make you think," ignoring this one might not be an option.
In the uplifting new drama God Friended Me, which will air Sundays this Fall at 8/7c on CBS and CBS All Access, Brandon Micheal Hall (The Mayor, Search Party) stars as podcast host Miles Finer, a spiritual skeptic who doesn't exactly know what to do when The Man Upstairs appears to add Miles on Facebook.
To make matters even more perplexing, the God account begins suggesting other friends, leading Miles to become an agent of change in the lives of those around him.
While the reason why he's been tasked with helping these strangers isn't immediately clear, Miles starts to think there's much more to this story than meets the inbox. After all, the Almighty works in mysterious ways both online... and offline.
God Friended Me also stars Joe Morton (Scandal, Justice League), Suraj Sharma (Homeland, Life of Pi), Violett Beane (The Flash, The Leftovers), and Javicia Leslie (Chef Julien, MacGyver).
Steven Lilien (Gotham, Hawaii Five-0), Bryan Wynbrandt (Gotham, Hawaii Five-0), Marcos Siega (Blindspot, The Following), Greg Berlanti (Arrow, Blindspot) and Sarah Schechter (Arrow, Blindspot) serve as Executive Producers.
The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television.

I think I’d lose a little respect for him. I thought he had better judgment than to be on Facebook.
I was friended by the Dalai Lama. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
He’s a big hitter, the Lama.
Havent we seen versions of this before....again and again? Only probability is that the show will end up insulting people who actually believe in God given Hollywoods attitude towards believers.
13 Weeks.
If that.
Miles feels hes found his purpose in life hosting a podcast where hes free to speak his mind, but that changes when he receives the ultimate friend request. After repeated pokes by God, Miles curiosity takes over, and he accepts the request and follows the signs to Cara Bloom, an online journalist suffering from writers block. Brought together by the God Account, the two find themselves investigating Gods friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need. Joining them on their journey are Miless supportive sister, Ali, a doctoral psych student by day and bartender by night, and his best friend, Rakesh, a sometime hacker who helps Miles and Cara research the enigmatic account. Miles is set on getting to the bottom of what he believes is an elaborate hoax, but in the meantime hell play along and, in the process, change his life forever. - Patheos
Who says that?
Well, lets wait and see. Remember Touched By An Angel and Highway to Heaven. Big hits that made a lot on nonbelievers into believers. Whatever causes people to go looking for God is good
God isn’t on Facebook.
Whatever causes people to go looking for God is good.

^^^^^ THIS all the time.
That is a pretty good premise for a TV series, and CBS is almost certain to ruin it.
Their demons seem to always compel them to promote perversion, blasphemy, and murder. If it is not very anti-Christian I will be completely shocked.
Hoping they will surprise me, though.
Yes
This is not bibical. God does not “friend” people, it does not work like that.
Christians should avoid this show like the plague.
His account was suspended.
Not possible. God isn’t a retard that uses FascistBook.

Sure, but what did they believe? The Truth or what tickled their ears?
BTW, people do not become angels when they die. And the highway to heaven? It’s straight and narrow...
Sounds a lot like “Person of Interest”.
That’s such a chip shot against Tenzin Gyatso. What kind of person would gopher that kind of humor?
