Jesus in me
I believe that is the one you claim is in everyone. Of course I have Jesus in me so I am quite comfortable with that divinity.

There is only one.

I believe that to be true but I also believe you don't know Him.
I am an aspect of God, therefore I am a god, and thus divine.
I currently may not be your god, but I'm always looking for minions. I'm not an angry or vengeful god (on most days) and I have cookies.

Why?

I believe as a Hindu you believe that everyone is just an extension of God ie He is in everyone. I do not believe that to be true so you are believing in a God that does not exist.
What you believe about my God doesn't change a thing. Prove to me he doesn't exist. You can't. Not that I need you to. Even your holy book does not say he does not exist. It does not even use his names and titles. So you can't use that.
As far as God being in all of us, doesn't the Holy Spirit dwell within everyone? Is the Holy Spirit not God? Why is your belief more valid than mine? See, the difference is that as Hindus we accept and respect others' beliefs. Can you say the same? Evidently not.
You can use all "I believe" you want in your posts, but they do nothing to hide your denigration of others' beliefs and saying my God doesn't exist. I see right through that "I believe" being a not-so-thinly veiled attempt to speak against other religions. I can easily say the same of yours but I don't do that because as the Rig Veda says, ekam sat viprah bahudha vadanti, "One Truth the wise know by many names".
I interpret the last part differently, with the 'I' meaning the actual real you, in the advaita sense, not the ego 'I' at all.Yes, call me Miss M.

Seriously, the Hindu greeting "namaste" (namaḥ+s+te) means "I bow to the divine in you".
There is another Sanskrit phrase, aham brahmāsmi, meaning "I am God". It's not as egotistical as it sounds, it means we are all divine.
The first part I agree with, but that 'divinity within you' is more covered in some than in others. In fact its a wide range. The murdering criminal has many more layers than the Self-realised master.
Yes, true. But as soon as you say "I am God" to anyone who is not familiar with advaita they lose their minds. Hence the need to point out I'm not delusional.
That's a good way to put it. As one progresses, if one progresses, the layers are stripped away.
Yes, the language ('I' in this case) is limiting. Too bad there isn't a pronoun for atman, but since there is no concept of atman in western paradigms, English doesn't have it.Yes, true. But as soon as you say "I am God" to anyone who is not familiar with advaita they lose their minds. Hence the need to point out I'm not delusional.
