Dear John and Doves,
No matter how many times the media and his followers have declared O as the messiah, the lord and saviour, the one etc. To my understanding  he has never once denied this praise. Nothing, No nothing, a reply such as, e.g. I am humbled by the comparison but I am just a man. This is what you would normally expect after the first, if not at least the second or third reference. A psychiatrist would have some very interesting views as to this kind of behaviour. Even better the Holy Spirit tells us there is something extremely wrong with it.
