No, you cannot become a demi-god. The person who told you could was either lying or badly mistaken. That sort of thing happens only in myths and fantasy stories.

In many stories there where people who became gods after death. This is not real in my opinion.

Im thinking you may have come across EA Koetting?

His stuff is highly effective but he has a tendency (ahem...and im understating it...) for hyperbole.

So no unless the mormons are right...then no you cant...

Anybody can just say that they're a demi-god of so-and-so. It's better to find the reason why a person says such a thing.

So, the royal family of Japan has a legendary history of being related to the sun goddess Amaterasu. Cleopatra, a famous Egyptian princess, was honored as the daughter of Isis. The same claims were made, if I recall correctly, by Aztec royalty and Cambodian royalty. What do they have in common? POLITICS. That's all it is. The "power of the god" was granted to them as royal lineages who already had power over other people. Would you argue with a king if he feels like claiming godhood?

The kumari of India are children who are identified as the incarnations of the goddess Kali and are taken away to be worshipped until they reach puberty. Really, they seem to me, ordinary girls who get caught up in cultural traditions.

In my opinion we are all divine, or none of us are.

What do Mormons have to do with this? They don't believe in becoming gods. Geez..

in their afterlife they believe that they and their family will rule a planet for eternity.

just as this planet is ruled by a "god"

This is according to their theology and not all LDS members necessarily believe it.

I meant to be tongue in cheek and i hope i certainly did not offend you.

Beliefs are clashing here. Anyways all I was saying was that in myths people became gods after death. I'm not saying it's true or anything.
