God is love, but there's no love in your life? Or, God is dead? Or, omniscience isn't possible, even theoretically? Or, no-one lives forever? Or, God is one of thousands of historical deities, all of which are mythological, and therefore imaginary, not real? Or, everyone who has claimed divinity before in history has been some kind of raving idiot loony, not worthy of worship, and plainly delusional? Or, God must OF NECESSITY remain hidden, and subject to mere (mostly blind) faith, not the object of a public display of omnipotence or glory, OR God remains undefined, so all talk about the subject is inherently moot. OR, the Creator of the Universe must somehow have been created himself, so the question of genesis is just passed on to theology, from physics. OR, the choice between an all-powerful being that loves us and promises us Heaven (and punishment for our enemies) vs. being alone in the Vast space of an infinite universe without meaning, that only promises a dusty death (for all), makes most of us humans theists, at least publicly, if only to conform to a society (with an average IQ of 100).
Anyway.
People who claim to be "God" are usually mentally ill. Psychotic. Delusional. Hallucinatory. Schizophrenic. Insane. We think we're important. Some of us need unquestioned obedience. Our personal agendas need to be seen as the divine will. And, of course, anyone who disagrees is under the power of the devil.
What am I, then?
Just a guy. Like Jesus. He was just a guy. Hitler is dust, just like Jesus. Dream worlds and technological virtual worlds don't promise us Heaven, and never will. Humans are just another species of animal, and are the biological equivalent of anything (worms, ants, elephants, donkeys, butterflies, you name it.). In fact, we're living THINGS, like rocks, but with the added bonus of brains, breath, bipedalism, and beer. :-)
Thus spaketh Jessemiah
