I have a relative that believes adamantly that he is Elijah the Prophet AND the new God the Father Almighty (GFA) since the “old” GFA messed up and the “board” in heaven removed him and named the family member the new GFA in charge. Of course, he is currently residing in a federal prison in the mental health section. Somehow, he can’t explain how he isn’t powerful enough to free himself yet. I kinda think JS,Jr. might have had some of those same delusions of grandeur. Sad, actually.
I know a dude who thinks he is the second coming of Jesus Christ, based upon the fact that he has a birthmark on his hand which he fancies came from the crucifixtion. He also bases it on his general ugliness. He haunts the internet under the name “Spirit of Truth,” and you can see him posting in a bunch of random places, especially Zerohedge or other places you might expect a conspiracy-minded person to frequent. I sometimes see his posts randomly on common news links, since he probably frequents Drudge too. I used to post with him on a particular forum before he mysteriously disappeared (he confided to the forum owner that he was Christ).
Recall that his argument is based on the birthmark on the middle of the back of his hand. I talked to him once about it, and told him that my claim to being Christ would be better, because, comparing pictures, the birthmark on MY hand on the same spot is much bigger. LOL
There’s another fellow like this living up in Canada who thinks he’s the second coming. Think he started a commune. Don’t know how he’s doing though.
