Gods have eternally existing consciousness and/or infinite intelligence.
Humans have eternally existing consciousness and/or infinite intelligence.
Humans are gods.

Humans have nails
Marmosets have nails
Humans are marmosets

Is someone paying you for every new thread you make? Because I don't see any other reason to do something like this.

Well. No one will ever accuse you of being unable to make a non sequitur.

אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ אִמַּצְתִּ֙יךָ֙ אַף־עֲזַרְתִּ֔יךָ אַף־תְּמַכְתִּ֖יךָ

There are multiple dimensions of consciousness, we're in between them, around the top floor of Hell...

So no we're more like fallen angels (Elohim) near Hell, with inner demons.

In my opinion.

No. Or, it depends on what you mean with god. People can keep many things as their god. God is like king, but higher. What person keeps as his god can be seen by his actions. What person serves with his actions and words, is his god. Many people have fear as their god, but only few seem to have Love as their God. And unfortunately fear leads to suffering.

He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8

I don’t see any good reason to keep someone other than Bible God as my God.

Damons are an energy force within the reality; yet they don't have any real authority, God (The CPU) does.

There is only One CPU (God Most High); there are then different divine qualities called Arch Angels (Elohim), which people have equated as gods.

In my opinion. :innocent:

Gods are simply that which a person or culture chooses to deify. If you see that as sufficient reason to deify humans, then they're gods. If not, then they are not.

I believe we have consciousness and intelligence because these have been endowed to the humans temporarily by G-d. These are eternal , infinitely and absolute attributes among many attributes of G-d. It is one aspect of humans being in the image of G-d, but that does not make a human a god. The reflection/image of sun in a mirror does not make it sun itself.
These are what I believe to be the right concepts, other are welcome to differ with me with their own reasons and arguments, if any.
Regards
