This. The only way to verify reality is via empirical methods really, to gain a sense of objectivity.  Tangible records of events are key, such as medical records that show whether a person is capable of something.  For example, if a person has no arms & another person claims that they punched them, you know that they are lying.
Agreed.  To claim equivalency with G^D -- or to claim to be G^D -- is the penultimate lie, and implies ultimate delusion.

However, there is a place for faith, as well; and even though faith itself proves nothing, is can embolden and inspire people to great accomplishments ... as well as to heinous crimes against humanity.


Who is claiming to be 'God'? You can channel God's energy, you don't have to be the ultimate 'God' - and you already have a significant advantage over Godless folk, in my opinion.

I shall elaborate on that. You can be 'God' of a very small patch of territory, but there are many bigger & more epic 'Gods' out there.

Do people think you are delusional as they are in fact the ones who are deluded.

For example, there is no objective evidence to state that you are deluded; however, the other side has an unshakeable belief that you are deluded - They lack insight.


Yes, I have had people call me that but when I have found that people who make those assumptions about me, don't ever make an effort to get to know me.

Not a god in the divine sense; but only the master of your own domain.

Oh.
I mean, if you own a patch of land, then (hypothetically, because it can be tested) you control its use.
