Really, it seems to me like the only reason those people call Jesus God is because they fear they can't be considered christians otherwise and they fear they might be judged by others.

They may also believe that God isn't omnipotent and humans screwed his message, but that raises the question why would he let himself get killed by roman soldiers in particular. And if there is the possibility of never returning after death, why risk it? Also why let people screw his sacred texts? free will? Well how about people who care about the truth, isn't their free will mishandled?

At least Socrates's death was planned by the authorities, and not by himself followed by resurrection after 3 days.
