1) Claiming that "being-itself exists / god exists" is significantly different than claiming that "I am being-itself / I am god" (which was your claim). The former is falsifiable, I am not so sure about the latter.
2) Right. We shouldn't be defining ourselves as the creator goddess. Cheers!
1) You are claiming that this being that you claim exists is a god, so it's the same kind of logic. I am just pointing at myself instead of something that you can't even show to exist in the first place, so you have to take even more steps to buy your claim. The only other difference is that my claim is more falsifiable. I am right here and this can be tested. It sounds like you aren't understanding the meaning of a word now.
2) Right. We shouldn't be defining a god into existence "because we said so". Check and mate!
