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.

Humans cannot perceive with divine clarity, without divine assistance/exception (e.g. Abraham on Sinai). Must gods by your definition not want to be perceived as they want to present themselves?
