If there are no gods, doesn't making one's self a god make one a theist?

And obviously he cannot look at himself or he will die!
No mirrors in the house!

Fuck, God is a vampire!

It occurred to me while playing Dragon Age Inquisition.

Corypheus, a magister/darkspawn, entered the Black City, the game's equivalent of real life's Heaven, and he found the thrones empty.

Therefore, he decided that he would become a god in a world where people prayed and did not have their prayers answered because there were no gods to answer those prayers.

In essence, doesn't him making himself a god make him a theist?

After all, in our world today merely the belief in a god makes one a theist, even if there is no evidence of that god's existence.

Yes, if you believed that you were god, you'd be a Theist. Also mentally ill.

I prefer to think of my divine self as "reality challenged".

Go ahead! Declare yourself a god! Now, how many of your friends will pick up the check?

[TheoneandonlytrueGod]

Since in naming himself god he won't be believing in a higher power than himself whom he might worship, hence he would be an atheist!

Or a theistic atheist!!
