Would you worship me as God(ess) if I did ALL of the following:
- Raised the dead in front of you?
- Died and came back to life?
- Multiplied loaves and fishes?
- Preached humility, poverty, and love for one's enemies?
- Had a mother who was PROVEN to be a virgin?
- Walked on water?
- Claimed to be God incarnate?
Would you be willing to die rather than deny me?
Would you go on Yahoo Answers and argue that I was God?
Why, or why not?

If that happened, or ever had, there would be no denying it.
Now are you going to deny Harry Potter is our Savior from Voldmort?

One tribe of Pacific Islanders worshipped an idol of a US seaplane because US servicemen landed there during World War 2 and gave them food and items they couldn't get like steel knives and candy bars and they prayed to the plane for the return of the strange pale gods from the sky and their wondrous gifts.
What seems miraculous to the primitive mind is often either deception or technology. In Jesus' day virgins were getting pregnant by gods all over the place. Egyptian priests were notorious illusionists and Jesus was accused by Rabbinical sources of having trained in their tricks when he lived in Egypt. Benny Hinn does the con artistry today and did Peter Popoff until he was caught using 2-way radio for his miraculous revelations about audience members. Fooling the gullible isn't hard. They don't care about proof and want to believe on the flimsiest excuse or none.

No, but I'd gladly be your manager and take you on tour. We could make a helluva lot of money. But let's cut the part about proving your mother is a virgin, OK? That could run us afoul of the law in small towns and, in any case, would be hard for people in the back rows to see.

You're a girl, and the bible doesn't let you be a messiah.
Sorry. The Koran doesn't even want you to show your face. However, if you are a hard worker, and didn't bring your prejudices into the workplace, and had the right resume, you could manage teams including men at my corporation.
You decide.

Yes you can do it but you must have some certain properties.
1-You must be One of ur own kind so that no one could kill You and take your place and then present his/her own rules.
2-You must absolute
3-Neither you are born by any one nor u born any one.
4-and even if u could justify this last point and that is "No one should even equal to you"
First prove these 4 things . I promise you i will put my faith on you.

Maybe if you did something much more important like stop world hunger, diseases, all of the wars, and ended all poverty on this planet. Other than that, NO.

Well, if you could do those things in a controlled environment with a bunch of scientists watching, you would have a pretty good case. Other wise, no.

You went to a lot of trouble to once again prove some people want to be something they aint.
