So I was talking to “a friend” and I told her I basically consider myself a deity. When she said what were the criteria and how is it justified that I consider myself one, my response was that I have the power to do things but I don’t. Which is true, but that wasn’t the right answer.

We classify people as monsters, or demons, or heroes, or angels based on their behavior so what’s to say I’m not a deity given mine? I have a track record of helping any and everyone I can, and smiting those I feel deserve it. I have my own code of beliefs and I don’t need anyone to believe in me to exist or do as I please. Mankind gave deities their power so why can’t I do the same for myself? I can’t relate to base-humanity anyway. It’s either attractive or absolutely repulsive. I don’t have to be all powerful or all knowing. I don’t have to create life, or save life, or give grace, or sorrow, or joy, or pain, or forgiveness, or redemption. I simply have to exist and there you go. I’m a god. If there is indeed a god above me, well I’ll handle that when I get there.

About the whole “Fabricate reality” thing, is you can have dreams that span months, or years, or eons why can’t you create a reality and inhabit it? What about dreams that you wake up inside of other dreams? What proof do I have that somehow this isn’t a complex pyramid of dreams and everyone is supporting characters or filling roles? Until I can prove otherwise, I’m a deity. Still not all powerful and all knowing, but a deity none-the-less.
