To be a god is to be perceived exactly as you want to be, with no effort to present yourself as anything other than what you perceive yourself to be. Everybody else must solve for appearances. The effort required is a measure of your non-divinity.

This doesn't comport with the Christian experience, wherein humans continually mistake, misinterpret, turn away from, and generally misperceive God.

makes me think about how this can change for a single person who moves through different contexts (perceived as desired in some contexts but not in others) and that’s probably maybe true for gods too
