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 wonder if the title of the article is right. Will the show be centered around Facebook or some generic social media site?
If God had an account on Facebook, which sounds highly suspicious to me in the first place, He would probably get shadow banned.
On the other hand, there might be a more just outcome to the ongoing liberal censorship of conservatives if they pulled that on the Almighty.
That would make a good episode in my opinion.
reject the premise; god little “g”
I guess Zuck didn't like that "Vengence is Mine..." thing
The point is a lot of people went to church as a result of those programs. Im sure there were some who drifted off but there were some who remained. If it brought even one to God they did a great job
I understand what your’re saying.
if the shows were a jumping board, then, good, but for those that bought in to the false teaching.....being in hell when you thought you were supposed to be an angel will come as a big surprise.
Remember, Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light...same with these non-bibical feel good shows.
I’d say it was a miracle since I am not on Facebook.
God would be banned on #ThrowbackThursday when pictures of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are posted.
>>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.

God on Facebook?
think of the flame wars
Zuckerberg banned God on Facebook because he didn’t like competition looking into peoples lives.
Better to reign in Facebook, then serve in Heaven.
“think of the flame wars”

Outside CBS headquarters a week later:
One network tried Kevin (Probably) Saves the World last season. It limped out without much fanfare — just didn’t get any significant ratings.
GFM sounds like the same kind of theme and will likely face a similar result by the end of next season.
I loved that show and thought that Amber Tamblyn was luminous in the role. I was saddened when it was canceled.
I was also a fan of the show.
What was frustrating about the cancellation was the fact the show runners seemed to be setting up an antagonist for the lead character that was aligned with the Devil.
It would have made for some interesting stories, IMO.
