Can you dissuade someone who is psychotic?

Anyway, claiming to be "God" is like claiming to know "God", and to know what "he" thinks what "he" says. It involves a lack of humility to say that a certain version of "God" (for example, the Christian "God") is the only correct one.

Dogma is the problem with all if not most "religions". Dogma I is a person's number one dogma. Their world view. Spelled backwards it is "I am God" It's one thing to be a theist. It is quite another thing to be an arrogant one. An example of this kind of arrogance is for someone else to tell me what I have to believe or perhaps even worse, what I can and can't do as long as it doesn't directly hurt other people.
