If you were a grasshopper, would that make a human your god? ?

This is a serious question.

If I could outjump anything smaller than a 12D, then the only thing that I would fear would be a 13EEE. Humans, Gods? Because I was a Grasshopper? Would you consider Mammoths to be your God if you were a Neanderthal? It's basically the same question!

Oh, wait your question is not whether the Grasshoper-human would consider the Human-human to be God, but whether that reality would make the human-humans the God of the Grasshopper-humans. Um, that would still be a Nope. Do you consider yourself to be the God of Grasshoppers?

No. A human might be the devil to a grasshopper, but not a god. A god is benevolent and helps the being. A god to a grasshopper might be a tree, or the ground on which the grass grows. Humans have a tendency to make a grasshopper's life unpleasant.

To start, what is a god? Well, most, we could probably say, consider the definition of a god to be the supreme being who creates and rules over the inhabitants of a universe.

So simply put, my god created me, not because he/she is incredulously larger than I am, but because he/she had the ability to do such. Just because we are titanic in size to the grasshopper, does not mean we have the knowledge or capability to create a form of life, i.e., a grasshopper.

The question could be reformed to ask, If you were a squirrel, would an elephant be your god? Well, no. Size doesn't make a god, though I'm sure it doesn't hurt!

No. Just another giant thing... God or gods have supernatural powers and communicate and interact with their devotees... Humans for the most part know what grasshoppers do and dont plan to empower the grass hopper kingdom in order to be worshipped...Grasshoppers also do not have the collective conscience to form a religion or belief system in order to worship humans as gods... I believe humans are the only speices on the planet that have that capacity.

no. God would still be my God no matter what form i take. humans might have a bigger impact on my life being that they are larger but even then not a god at all. what does a grasshopper care about us humans other than they probably wish that we would stop killing them and taking away their green spaces. if they think at all about such things. i am almost certain that a grasshopper is busy with surviving and doesn't have time to think about stuff like who is God and what is my purpose here on earth. the grasshopper knows. it is to be a grasshopper and to do what they do.
