Better but Equal
When I say I'm God, i'm thinking I'm right, if not enlightened, and that I think of myself as both a religious and military "superior" (link), whose ideas should be either accepted or challenged, so that my blog becomes a source of Truth and Wisdom- and your enlightenment, too. I admit I am attached to my ideas, and think of them as better than the philosophies of everybody else (!). You have the right to your own ideas, of course, and -if different- can consider this outlook as un-virtuous or proud.
You might have noticed, however, that I think you are "God, too" and equal to me and everyone, (like everybody else). I am an egalitarian, despite seeing the differences in authority (president), power (david eldridge-the voice in my head), wealth (such as Bill Gates), or martial-arts mastery (e.g. the shao lin monks), etc. (e.g. intelligence, beauty, happiness, rock-climbing ability...)
So I subscribe to both Egalitarianism, and Superiority. It's a weird mix.
I admit I may be wrong, and keep an open mind to believing Anything Else, in the future. One of my beliefs is that is doesn't matter what you believe! (God, if good, would make Heaven a pleasant surprise for good people who didn't believe in an afterlife, for example, and not demand belief as a prerequisite for reward).
The bible says Only God is good. God is love. Love believes all things.
Buddhism says we're all good. basic goodness.
So we're all God (syncretic belief).
We all believe all things? Maybe everything is true, at some level, or at one time or another.
I still think there are Objective truths, and Virtual truths (that seem true, and are operative, even if false, like Santa). Nobody believes everything! But maybe anybody can be made to believe anything.
So that's my thinking on this.
I also vacillate between dichotomy of and fluidity between good and evil.
I.e. the stereotypical "good" might be evil, or "evil") (e.g. killing) might be justified, at times.
I suppose this is true for most people.
