Blasphemous Boast | comment |
A character decides to compare themselves favorably to a deity. This can either be joking or serious (although either one can still be blasphemous). The exact form can vary. One of the most common forms is a variant of saying one has "more X than God" (usually something that the deity in question wouldn't even bother to possess according to the theology). Also, the most common thing to top is money (especially someone in the Fiction 500). A more serious form is claiming to be greater than God. This usually involves the Abrahamic God, but not always. Regardless of which God, in a setting where Gods do exist, the character often ends up Tempting Fate. They might even do it right in front of a real god. Depending on the god and the situation, a Bolt of Divine Retribution (or divine laughter) may immediately follow. A Super-Trope to A God Am I, Bigger Than Jesus. A Sister Trope to Blasphemous Praise (giving this boast in the third person), Answers to the Name of God, Pride. May sometimes overlap with Badass Boast. Compare to Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter when the person is taunting God. Contrast Like a God to Me. |

One episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit had a cult leader get shot by his pregnant twelve year-old wife for pulling one of these during a three-person Mexican Standoff. He had told the girl to shoot the liar in the room. As Olivia tries to talk the girl down, he keeps yelling more and more fire and brimstone scare tactics at the girl until he claims that he was greater than God. She immediately shoots him because "He told a lie. No one is greater than God." | |

In π, the slogan of stock brokerage firm Lancet-Percy (one part of the Big Bad Ensemble and, quite frankly, the more evil one) has as its slogan "Only God Is Perfect", boasting about the firm's eighty percent reliability with its predictions. They spend the whole movie hounding mathematician Max Cohen, first with sweet talking and later with goons and a gun to his face, so he will give them a number that they believe will allow them to manipulate the stock market at will and definitely will turn their prediction rates an even hundred. | |

Touma in A Certain Magical Index claims that his hand cancels anything, and can even cancel the divine. Index is slightly skeptical because, among other things, he happens to be an atheist (at least at the start of the series) and offers to test his claim on her blessed clothing. It works. Also If Jesus, Then Aliens. He says that there is definitely no magic, and a bit later she says "An atheist like you?", and he doesn't mind. Someone in the part of the verse not (yet) adapted to anime remarks that yes, Touma really might be higher than God. Even his family name can be translated as "The person superior to God". The title of Fiamma of the Right translates to "The One Above God." Of course we also can't forget a certain doctor who has gained the title "Heaven Canceler". |

Awkward Zombie: In Marth's ranking system (and its extended version) for the social status of the members of the Super Smash Bros. cast, the "royalty" tier — including, of course, himself — is ranked above the "divinity" tier. Given that "divinity" in this context means actual deities like Palutena, Marth evidently feels himself to be more important than gods. | |

The Belgariad: The Mallorean emperors secretly use the honorific "Kal", meaning "King and God", following in the footsteps of the Physical God who founded the empire. "Secretly" because they didn't dare actually say it while said god was alive, instead adding an apostophe at the beginning of their names to stand in for it. Kal Zakath thinks it's ridiculous and abandons the practice after meeting real gods. | |

The Simpsons: Homer got a perfect 300 bowling, and compared himself to God. He didn't actually say he was better than God, just equal in bowling ability. Which, if Homer always bowls 300, is simply mathematically accurate. Even God can't score more points than the maximum number possible. In another episode, Bart declares that the revivalist preacher/faith healer Brother Faith "dances better than Jesus himself." In yet another episode, Bart describes the gravy Marge and Becky made as "better than God's sweat." Being a parody/homage of The Beatles, "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" references John Lennon's real life boast (see under Real Life below). The Be Sharps took Lennon's quote to extreme by naming their second album "Bigger Than Jesus", complete with a cover that showed the quartet walking on water (itself a takeoff on the Abbey Road cover). And yet another example has Lisa convince Bart and Homer they have leprosy. Bart claims that in the Bible 'Some holy guy' cured the lepers. After remembering it was Jesus Homer quickly asserts "Wait, I know someone even Holier than Jesus! Flanders!" In another episode where Flanders gives Homer info that could give him his job back, he calls him God, which embarrassed Ned especially when Homer starts worshiping him calling him higher than Jesus. When Homer goes on a hunger strike to protest the local baseball team's plan to move, he sings a little song which includes the line "I'm kinda like Jesus, but not in a sacrilegious way." When Homer buys a gun, he describes the feeling of power it gives him as "how God must feel when he's holding a gun." Also towards the end of "Mr. Plow", Homer after saving Barney's life goes into partnership with him in the snow-plow business, shouting out that if two friends stick together, not even God Himself can stop them. Cue a voice from the clouds: "Oh, no?" and the weather immediately becomes warmer, melting all the snow. |

In Octopath Traveler II, Dolcinaea Luciel claims that she's a better singer and dancer than Sealticge, the literal goddess associated with dancing, during the Grand Gala. The Gala is occurring at an ancient temple dedicated to Sealticge. The karma is that Agnea Bristarni, the Traveller who faces Dolcinaea, is blessed by Sealticge with a rare power to help her on a Misson From God to save the world and defeats Dolcinaea minutes after the boast is made in a dancing competition. | |

An early example can be seem in Frankenstein (1931), where the Mad Scientist's "Now I know what it feels like to be God!" drew so much ire in its time from Christians that it had to be cut (a loud clap of thunder was substituted on the soundtrack). The full line wasn't restored until 1999. | |

The Chouginga Gurren Lagann is described as "One who matches the gods." Considering that its power is supposedly tantamount to a sub-Universe, this makes some sense. Naturally, it is succeeded by the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and in the movies the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which are several thousand orders of magnitude stronger than that, the latter one being a full-sized universe shaped like a mecha. By this point, the Gods probably lie curled up in foetal position, weeping in terror. |

Fire Emblem: Glass from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade has gained some fandom notoriety by claiming that his swordplay is so peerless that even the gods fear it. Considering the fact that he's just the level 2 boss, this turns out to be one of the most epic cases of Suicidal Overconfidence ever. Ike from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn makes a similar boast at the end of the game right to the goddess Ashera's face. Unlike the sucker described above, however, he has the skills to back it up. Flayn from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, at the end of her support chain with Ignatz. She agrees to be the model for Saint Cethleann in his painting, on the condition he make her "more illustrious" than the Saint's sacred statue. Very unusual for the normally pious Flayn. Or would be, except Flayn IS Saint Cethleann. |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Just as Judge Frollo is about to strike down Esmeralda and Quasimodo in the climax, he utters this gem: "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!" Guess what happens to Frollo? Ironically, it is Frollo who is the wicked one and God smites him to Hell. A great deal of the problems stem from Frollo being unable to separate his arrogance from his faith, and that he is nowhere near the pious Christian he thinks he is. Others have repeatedly pointed out and even condemned him for using religion as an excuse to justify his evil and hypocrisy, but to his dying words, he never realizes the Bible's true message on compassion and pride. For all the repeated Holier Than Thou harping he does throughout the movie, Frollo is just a paranoid Tautological Templar who irrationally blames others for his issues. |

Consider this beauty from Kill Bill Volume 1: Hattori Hanzo on his latest sword, "I can say with no ego that this is the finest sword I have ever built. Should you encounter God on your quest, God will be cut". It's a callback to a similar line in a voiceover near the beginning, which in turn references a Zen Buddhist saying: "If you meet a buddha, cut him down. If you meet a demon, cut him down."note It's supposed to mean that one doesn't care about good or bad and has attained release from the world, but now means that one has extreme resolve in his mission and doesn't care who needs to be sacrificed to attain it; the exact opposite of the original meaning. | |

Megami no Hanabira: Once Phillips enters his Villainous Breakdown and devolves into A God Am I, he delights in this: starting off claiming God would reward him for his service by putting him among the highest spheres of angels, he quickly changes his tune to overthrowing a God who he sees as too soft on humanity. Metatron is understandably off-put by this assertion and sacrifices Phillips to manifest and take on Mai and the others himself...only for Phillips to take over his body, at which point his boasts get even wilder. | |

In The Thebaid, Capaneus' whole M.O. is renouncing the gods, so he'll always go into the battle praying to his right hand or mocking others for relying on divine protection. Jupiter doesn't see much reason to deal with it, until Capaneus grows bold enough to boast that the Thunderer was too scared to face anyone that wasn't a defenseless maiden. Then comes the logical conclusion of this trope: the Bolt of Divine Retribution. | |

Black☆Star from Soul Eater frequently refers to himself as "the man who will surpass God" or "the man who has surpassed God'', although it's (probably) just his ego talking. By the end of the manga, however, he becomes powerful enough to rival Kid's True Death God form and earn the title of Warrior God from Asura of all people. | |

The Angry Beavers did a similar spoof as The Simpsons did at one point, with Daggett claiming that they were "Bigger than sliced bread", with people acting in an identical manner to John Lennon's "Bigger than Jesus" boast. Subverted, however, when Daggett clarifies that he meant that they were physically bigger than a loaf of sliced bread, placating the fans. | |

The Nostalgia Critic: "I am your Jesus." "That's right! I am going to judge God!"note He was comparing Heston's The Ten Commandments against The Prince of Egypt and their different portrayals of God (Heston's wrathful and vengeful God versus Prince's more enigmatic and loving God). Prince's God won and NC was informed by God Himself He was the other type before smiting the NC. In his Conan the Barbarian (1982) review, he played the scene of Conan "praying" mentioned above, then spoofs it with wanting a specific Happy Meal toy. |

The Owl House Whole Episode Flashback "Them's the Breaks, Kid" has Eda and her older sister Lilith talking about all the cool things they'll do when they join the Emperor's coven, which Eda caps off by claiming that even the Titan (the Giant Corpse World that they live on which is treated as a quasi-godlike figure) will gasp in fear of them. Funnily enough, this is does prove to be an accurate statement as Eda's future adopted son King (who is revealed in a later episode to be a titan) actually does show fear when coming face to face with their cursed forms. | |

A variant in Super Robot Wars, Sanger's catchphrase and Badass Boast is that "I am the sword that cleaves evil! There is nothing I cannot cut!" (This becomes "smites evil" in the English localization.) When fighting more powerful opponents, he sometimes replaces "evil" with something more dramatic and context-appropriate, including at one point "God". | |

There is an arc in Twin Peaks where Benjamin Horne reenacts the American Civil War with models as a way of solving the personal problems that caused his nervous breakdown. However as he gets better the side he chose (the South) starts to win. As his troops are about to enter Washington D.C. he says (in an affected Southern Drawl) "Only God can stop us now; and I believe in my heart that the Almighty is a Southerner!" | |

In the Professional Wrestling Massive Multiplayer Crossover wrestling promotion story "Character Championship Wrestling", The CCW Female's Champion Gwen Tennyson began to call herself a goddess following her match with Chell at the PPV "Meltdown", where she nearly died due to bloodloss. She has taken this gimmick as far as reciting Bible verses and rewording them into her own words and using the term "Gwendamn" when swearing. | |

In Choice of the Dragon, the dragon can come to legitimately believe themself to be a God. The universe's gods may not actually mind if the dragon still respects them, but if they refuse to let the goblins worship their god, raids the sacred temple for the universe's Gods, and deliberately starts their own cult of worshippers, the universe's Gods will respond with a Bolt of Divine Retribution. | |

The Pony POV Series: In Dark World, the Valeyard does these quite frequently, as he believes himself higher than the Elders. According to a Loose Canon Recursive Fanfiction story, Havoc actually keeps track of how many times He's heard certain blasphemous boasts from people condemned to His domain. He even tells the Valeyard exactly how many times He'd heard each of his. Nightmare Eclipse's claim that she chose her name for eclipsing Celestia and Luna and exceeding them is considered this by the Dark World!Mane Cast. She also claims to be above all the other Gods and outright states she's going to destroy the Goddess of Fate. |

A Song of Ice and Fire has a few, although the most epic (and terrifying) probably belongs to Euron Greyjoy, a psychotically cruel pirate whose excesses causes a case of Even Evil Has Standards from other members of his culture, a grim raider society who believes that raiding others and carrying off their women is a sacrament. When Euron returns from years of exile and attempts to claim the throne for himself, his fundamentalist brother Aeron attempts to stop Euron, saying that no godless man can be their king. The full quote is on the quotes page, but here's the heart of it: | |

Played with in an episode of Peaky Blinders, wherein two members of the titular criminal organisation, outraged at hearing of the horrific abuses that children suffer within an orphanage in their territory, confront the nuns in charge. The nuns coldly state that they answer to God. One of the criminals threateningly retorts that be that as it may, but God lives in Heaven... and the Peaky Blinders live just down the road. | |

Fate/Grand Order: Nikola Tesla is fond of claiming that his control over electricity has surpassed even Zeus, and considering that he is one of the most powerful Servants, his boasting seems to have some merit. Until the Olympus Lostbelt, where he appears as an ally and Zeus is the antagonist. Zeus utterly curbstomps him, offscreen to boot, proving, as many people in Ancient Greece learned, that you really shouldn't try to put yourself on the level of the gods. | |

Arthur's Bond One-Liner to Taci, who had been sent by Kezess to purge his friends and family in Dicathen for going against his (Kezess's) plans. On the other end of the divine spectrum, at the end of the Siege of Vildorial Arthur gets the remaining Alacryans to flee with an insult towards Agrona, the Lord of the Vritra and practically the God-Emperor of Alacrya. Considering how at this point Arthur is already The Dreaded among the Alacryans, they wisely retreat before he exerts his wrath upon them. |

Warhammer: The game uses this a lot with the chaos gods. A random Chaos worshiper deems himself greater than the gods and usually finds himself cursed. Although sometimes it's a case of Cursed with Awesome: Wulfrik the Wanderer once declared himself the equal of any warrior, now he has to prove it by defeating every Worthy Opponent he finds, with his taunts magically preventing the enemy from refusing a challenge. Not a bad fate for a Blood Knight. |

High School D×D: The Devils who explain it to him state that Issei's Sacred Gear could overpower God himself, given enough time. This counts as Playing with a Trope, as it's later clarified that All Myths Are True and God is (well, was) an extant entity with defined powers, making this assessment of a Balance Breaker's potential an accurate statement of fact. | |

Doctor Who: Davros declares in "Genesis of the Daleks" that releasing a virus that would destroy all life (an analogy the Doctor uses for his creation of the Daleks) would "set me up above the gods". Many years later in "The Witch's Familiar", he still thinks like this, as shown when pushing the Doctor to commit genocide: This exchange from "New Earth": There's a reason why one of the Doctor's many titles is "The Lonely God"... At one point, the Twelfth Doctor tells someone that he's old enough to be their messiah (at that point, the Doctor is over 2000 years old). The Twelfth Doctor had a particularly awesome one when he remembers why he chose his "face". |

Claire Stanfield of Baccano! He suffers from a severe case of solipsism (the philosophical idea that only the reality of a person's self is absolute, and that everything else could very well just be a figment of their imagination), and believes himself to be the complete ruler of reality. He claims at one point that he thought up God and made the divine ruler bestow him with his seemingly otherworldly abilities of strength, agility, and stamina (He actually got them from his time spent as an acrobat in the circus). The fact that he is able to back up his claims by holding his own against legitimately immortal beings causes one to at least consider his viewpoint. | |

A small one in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Iolaus claims that the town that Herc and he saved should have built a shrine to them. A lightning bolt strikes a nearby bush. The duo speculate if it was the gods or not. So Iolaus tests the "lightning never strikes somewhere twice" concept by repeating the line right next to the bush. It happens again. Oddly enough this gives Iolaus precognitive abilities at the low, low cost of being fried with a lightning bolt. | |

Chris' new wit causes him to be nominated for school president. Stewie then claims that he's a better coach than God. And how do you expect Family Guy to run with this? In the episode "If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin'" Peter claims to have miraculously healed Chris' disease (which was made up in the first place). People begin gathering and worshipping Peter like he's God, and Peter runs with it, at least until the actual God starts sending the Egyptian plagues on him. |

In Transmetropolitan, when Spider is concussed and comatose, he perceives it as being in a dark, empty room. He briefly wonders if he's dead and this is the afterlife but decides there can't be anything beyond death because "If there was a God, he'd be here right now, surrendering his throne to me." Spider later concludes that he is in Hell, since being stuck in a never-ending blackness with nothing to write about, nothing to write on and no cigarettes is Hell to a journalist. | |

In the backstory of the Dragonlance setting for Dungeons & Dragons, the Cataclysm was triggered when, to cap off generations of religious persecution and cruel oppression in the name of the gods of Good, the Kingpriest of Istar talked down to Paladine, greatest of the Good-aligned deities, and condescendingly offered to take the burden of omnipotence off His hands so that he, the Kingpriest, could run the cosmos properly for a change. | |

The Fantastic Four (2005) movie has Johnny Storm saying that Victor Von Doom has more money than God. In comparison Reed Richards is worth "less than a postage stamp." (He may have a point, considering Reed Richards Is Useless ...) | |

Frasier: Inverted in an episode; Frasier's producer Roz is considering hiring Frasier's less-than-noble agent Bebe Glazer. When Roz is trying to justify it be saying "It's not like she worships the Devil," Frasier retorts with "She doesn't have to; he worships her." However, it's played straight in other episodes: |

Babylon 5: There's "Ivanova's mantra" that she takes a moment to tell some folks after they refuse to obey her in a Season 1 episode. She takes a quick moment to apologize to God for the boast after she's finished and nobody else is listening. A much more subtle one comes in the Season 2 episode "Comes the Inquisitor". Captain Sheridan is shocked that a human is working as an agent for the Vorlons, since as far as anyone knows the only Vorlon interaction with humanity was sending an ambassador to the station. When questioned about it, the man coolly informs Sheridan, "Yes, the Vorlons have been to Earth. The Vorlons have been everywhere. The Vorlons are." (Explanation: The traditional name for God in Hebrew comes from "Yahweh", meaning "I am." The parallel with "The Vorlons are" is undoubtedly intentional, especially considering the nature of the character who says it.) |

Rodimus tries this in The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, when he launches into a Rage Against the Heavens speech where he demands to see the afterlife's manager — assuming that God isn't too chicken, anyway. | |

In Jormungand, with plan Jormungand nearing initiating, Koko compares herself to all the people that have spoke of and sought out world peace, when in the end, it was an arms dealer that achieved it. When talking of God's "work" (letting countless wars pass through the years), she calls herself more than a god as she plans to... | |

Ike from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn makes a similar boast at the end of the game right to the goddess Ashera's face. Unlike the sucker described above, however, he has the skills to back it up. | |

Prince Valiant (1997): When Princess Ilene is mortally wounded, Valiant screams at God to save her, then says if He does not, he will become His enemy. God was apparently listening because healing energy comes out of Excalibur and saves her. | |

In The Prayer Warriors, Hades claims that he cannot be defeated by anyone, even by God or Jesus. The Prayer Warriors prove him wrong by simply praying. | |

Another case of Aphrodite was the time that a certain woman named Myrrha had her mother boast about the same thing Cassiopeia did unto her daughter... compared to Aphrodite. She ends up cursing Myrrha to commit incest with her father, but then it turned out a bit better and showed Aphrodite's tender side when she took pity on Myrrha's son Adonis... who, in one story, died because he made a boast about being a better hunter than the resident Goddess of Hunting, Artemis. Artemis then sicced her hunting boar to kill him while Aphrodite was away. (In other stories, Adonis died because Ares was a Yandere to Aphrodite) | |
