To make it simple InfiniteThoughts God is EVERYTHING, including you, so when your ego says "i am god" its right but at the same time wrong:P

I cannot be God because I am not the Perfect Ideal. Look at the condition of humanity today. Being God and being connected to God are two different things. We are not the Power. Our use of the Power does not make us the source.

So many of us are caught up in our own pride and arrogance, thinking we can be as good as God. If we look at ourselves truthfully, there is so little we actually control, beyond the small, everyday decisions we make. When a 10 ton truck hits you at 70 mph, how do you control that?
A lot of the views expressed above are just re-hashed, recycled (get it!) ideas of Pantheism and Panentheism. Been there, tried it, got the T shirt. Sorry, not for me. Who's to say God can't be separate from his own creation, or from consciousness as we know it?

Yes. Many religious scriptures affirm the idea you mentioned last. We truly are powerless. We did not give ourselves life, we do not give death, we don't control the turning of the earth, we don't control the burning of the sun. The list of our limitations is limitless.
Pantheism/Panetheism was heavily practiced thousands of years before. People worshiped the sun, the planets, animals, etc. How can anyone say that is God? Will you really call a monkey God? How can humans do cruel experimentations on God? It's ridiculous and defies the definition of God.
No one in the history of the human race could do the things that God can. People tried so hard to study alchemy to remain immortal! Would such a limitation be applicable to God? No, because God is already immortal. No one can cook up and earth out of nowhere. No one can create another human being from scratch. We barely understand the human personality and emotions - would that ever be a hindrance to God? God has no limits or hindrances! lol
