This was not a simple production, you see, and there are many aspects to Creation of which we humans are not capable of understanding.  Dalton&#8217;s &#8220;Mr. Deity&#8221; is all too human, avaricious and behind his lovable exterior he hides a deep need to be worshipped.  He is not above throwing a bunch of natural disasters in our way to get us to pay attention without &#8220;violating our free will.&#8221;  Mr. Deity is a funny look behind the scenes of Creation.  Sure, things could have been done a bit differently.  But would that have made as good of a story?<\/p>\n<p>Brian Dalton is the featured speaker for the Humanists of Minnesota&#8217;s Spring Banquet on April 17th.  He will be in our studio on Sunday and Scott Lohman, the President of the Humanists of Minnesota will be talking to him about the series. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mnatheists.org\/content\/view\/581\/1\/\">CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God will be the guest speaker at this Sunday&#8217;s Humanists of Minnesota&#8217;s Spring Banquet, and Scott Lohman will interview him on Atheist Talk Radio.
