'GOD Friended Me' What would you if the Almighty tried to add you on Facebook? (NEW SHOW)

CBS ^ | 2018

I think I’d lose a little respect for him. I thought he had better judgment than to be on Facebook.

[ClearCase_guy]

I was friended by the Dalai Lama. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

[Army Air Corps]

He’s a big hitter, the Lama.

[rstrahan]

Haven’t 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 Hollywood’s attitude towards believers.

[JennysCool]

13 Weeks.

If that.

GOD FRIENDED ME is a humorous, uplifting drama about an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from God and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him. Miles Finer is intelligent, hopeful and optimistic, but he doesn’t believe in God. This puts him at odds with his father, Reverend Arthur Finer, a beloved preacher at Harlem’s Trinity Church for 25 years who is stung by his son’s strong rejection of his faith.

Miles feels he’s found his purpose in life hosting a podcast where he’s 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 writer’s block. Brought together by the “God Account,” the two find themselves investigating God’s friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need. Joining them on their journey are Miles’s 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 he’ll play along and, in the process, change his life forever. - Patheos

They say the Almighty works in mysterious ways...

Who says that?

[Fungi]

What a stupid premise for a series. This is nothing but frivolous secularization of religion—meaning Christianity— by people that know nothing about it. Try friending Allah and watch the backlash and criticism.

[McGavin999]

Well, let’s 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

[pcottraux]

God isn’t on Facebook.

[Spacetrucker]

Whatever causes people to go looking for God is good.

^^^^^ THIS all the time.

[unlearner]

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.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Yes

[KittenClaws]

This is not bibical. God does not “friend” people, it does not work like that.

Christians should avoid this show like the plague.

[biggerten]

His account was suspended.

[CodeToad]

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...

[NorthMountain]

Sounds a lot like “Person of Interest”.

[TigersEye]

That’s such a chip shot against Tenzin Gyatso. What kind of person would gopher that kind of humor?
