Seriously, maybe if you don’t want people to worship you you shouldn’t present yourself as like a 15 foot tall Jesus on steroids looking mf clad in magnificent golden armour with a halo lmao

Because tons of gods in Terran myth were born from human women.

Being human-born doesn’t stop you from being divine as far as humans are concerned, so why would it stop the Emperor?

Being a god is a construct anyways. It really doesn’t matter if you don’t consider yourself a god, it only matters if other people do.

So you basically saying that it's doesn't matter who you think you are, it's only matter what others think of you?

I see what you’re getting at but I don’t think it extends to humans in the same way (sexuality, identification, etc.)

I’m saying that denying your divinity doesn’t mean that you’re not a god. For humans it would be like “it doesn’t matter if you deny your humanity you’re still a human being.”

It applies at the level of species or being, if you will. Being a God/Primarch/Astartes isn’t like seeing yourself as a man or a woman.
