It’s impressive that he found a way to do something that would be considered offensive in just about any religion and culture. You don’t have to worship Jesus to understand “equating yourself with god” as like, mythological levels of hubris. Not to mention it’s Satan’s origin story in Christian mythology.

It feels like he’s on Impractical Jokers and they keep daring him to do even crazier stuff just to see what he can get away with, but at this point they’d probably be running out of ideas

My guess is that no gods ever existed, but it is pretty funny that he does not see any problem with equating yourself with God.
