In ours, we ignore and ostracize the person until they have repented... you?

If someone attempted to upstage my deity I would personally form a coup and out them!

In the event that someone had the chutzpah to attempt upstaging Bob, no action on our part would be required. The closest anyone's ever come would be the FSM, or perhaps UGGABLAV, but anyone else simply appears the fool for the attempt. You really can't ask more from a deity than to have him insist you quit your job, and SLACK off. In addition, does any deity guarantee salvation, or Triple Your Money Back?! I rest my case.

Hello dear!
Well, if I would believe in a Deity, I wouldn't mind what anyone would do against my Deity! Believing in my Deity, I would immediately admit Deity's strength and super power, above our level action and levels, thus none could even approach it!
But, since Deities are people made, people get offended and have made laws and customs against those who attempts to upstage Deities!

The perpetrator usually loses a bit of themselves. Nothing happens to my God, He always was, He always has been, and He always will be 'GOD'. There isn't a power within, or without the boundries of the universe that can change that, or upstage that. So nothing happens to God. But a little piece of the perps soul is hurt again, and it will not heal until they repent, recant, and go to God for forgiveness.
Does this answer your question?

The lesson is : Our God is vengeful! O spiteful one, show me who to smite and they shall be smoten!
— Homer Simpson
SPIRIT
I was an infant when my mother went
To see an atheist burned. She took me there.
The dark-robed priests were met around the pile;
The multitude was gazing silently;
And as the culprit passed with dauntless mien,
Tempered disdain in his unaltering eye,
Mixed with a quiet smile, shone calmly forth;
The thirsty fire crept round his manly limbs;
His resolute eyes were scorched to blindness soon;
His death-pang rent my heart! the insensate mob
Uttered a cry of triumph, and I wept.
"Weep not, child!" cried my mother, "for that man
Has said, 'There is no God.'"
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, (1792-1822)

We generally peel their face back off their heads and use it to make a death mask! J/K, It seems that just plain ignoring them does wonders, gives them time to reflect on their position with relation to the Gods.

In heathenry, the biggest flap is usually the "Loki question." :-)
Every kindred and hearth handles it a bit differently. I don't allow hailing Sleipnir's Dam in sumbels I host or officiate, but do have a rite I use to placate those attending who ordinarily would.

Treat them like they are covered in raw warm cookie dough until they repent

Kallan has it right - but those of us who are less kind ignore them like cats do - first "mark" their pants leg, THEN ignore them.
