You want to brag, but you're also in the mood to do something borderline blasphemous. Well you can accomplish both at once by bragging that you've topped something a god supposedly has. So you say you have "More X Than God".
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
This usually involves the [[God|Abrahamic God]], but not always. Also, the most common thing to top is money (especially someone in the [[Fiction 500]]). Although this sort of makes sense, as the Abrahamic god is supposed to be all powerful and all knowing, so would therefore have little use for currency. But be careful in declaring this when you declare this in a setting where Gods do exist, or you'll end up [[Tempting Fate]]. Bonus points for doing it right in front of an ''actual'' god.
'''Note this is not claiming "God himself couldn't." That's just [[Tempting Fate]].''' Also compare to [[A God Am I]] and [[Smith Will Suffice]], which are generally more serious statements of blasphemy or pride. Almost ''always'' an indication of [[Hubris]].
