According to me all are descendant of God on this earth. Am 100% sure about it.if you were sure that you were coming from god, a descendant of god on earth and all other people were not coming from god as a direct decendant but more like animate life, how would your attitude towards them be?

A descendent of which god? It makes a difference. A lot of difference. Our parentage shapes much of who we are as people, whether that parentage is divine or not.
follow your heart and answer accordingly. if you think people may need additional necessary info i am sure you will have your parenthesis.
I also have to discard the idea of a other people not being of the gods, because I feel we are all of the gods (and never just of one). For instance, the Spirit of Science governs any of us who are scientists or highly educated in that field; it's not something only one person can own. If we want to think about more classical deities, the Lady Hestia inspires any and all homemakers, not just a single person.
Then, a person is never just one thing in their lives. Many gods do we descend from, for many aspects of reality govern who we are. I'm a daughter of the Wild Wood in that I played in the forests as a child; I'm a daughter of the Library in that I grew up with books and a love of learning; I could go on and on. How does it change how I behave towards others? It simply defines how I am different from them. I have a greater appreciation for libraries than someone who never uses them, and I probably know more about them as well. I know about forest ecology and the species that can be found there, while others do not. I will recognize areas in which I am superior, as well as areas where I am not. I am not a daughter of the Ocean Spirit, as I grew up in the middle of a continent; I would leave that expertise to a sailor.

Following my own heart requires me to abandon one of the restrictions placed by the OP, to be honest.
For most gods, I have to discard the idea of "direct" descent because it is simply not possible. As a human, I cannot be a direct descendent of anything other than another human and I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to include ancestor worship in the framework of your question.

This was probably more of an explanation than anybody wanted. Kudos to anyone who can be bothered to read it. XD
what makes you think i sure must have excluded ancestor worship or anything.
hey, u know what, perhaps OP wasnt intended for you. not all OPs or threads are for me,either. when i get that feeling, i just dont join.makes life easy. still if you want to talk of your god only, implying how that part or this part of the thread was meaningless, go ahead, be the website staff. *rollseyes*
