Answer 1

BING BANG!!!

1. Psychiatry.a symptom of mental illness marked by delusions of greatness, wealth, etc.
2. an obsession with doing extravagant or grand things.

Don't thinks so..

Megalomania (from the Greek word μεγαλομανία) is a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence - often generally termed as delusions of grandeur. The word is a collaboration of the word "mania" meaning madness and the Greek "megalo" meaning an obsession with grandiosity and extravegance, a common symptom of megalomania. It is sometimes symptomatic of manic or paranoid disorders.

Megalomania is portrayed very often in fiction, usually as an affliction of supervillains and some heroes, like Light Yagami from Death Note. An example of a genuinely megalomaniacal supervillain is Maximillian Zeus from Batman.It is not always used in a strictly correct manner; for instance, it is common for villains to be described as a "megalomaniacs" if they demonstrate an obsession with gaining immense power and wealth (rather than a delusion that they already possess these things which most of them actually do anyway). However, fiction also contains genuinely megalomaniacal supervillains, and the lesser sense of an obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions is a common supervillain trait. Such villains play heavily in films like Pink Floyd's "The Wall"[citation needed] or the various James Bond villains featured in the work of Ian Fleming

Still don't think so

Answer 2

Hee hee. Not me...

I don't throw God's weight around He is quite capable of doing that himself... so I like to focus more on the love of God the great sacrifice He made for us so we can be with Him eternally....

I just want you to Romans 10:9 Believe in your heart confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised him from the dead...

The healthy don't need a doctor - Jesus came for the sick, the broken, the hurt the lonely, the abandoned, the fatherless... He came for everybody but those who have cushy lives without Him are less likely to recognise their need for Him.

God Bless
