A god complex is a colloquial term used to portray a perceived character flaw as if it were a 'psychological complex'.

God is usually held to have the properties of holiness (separate from sin and incorruptible), justness (fair, right, and true in all His judgments), sovereignty (unthwartable in His will), omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), omni benevolence (all-loving), omnipresence (present everywhere at the same time), and immortality (eternal and everlasting).
However, while God is the Lord of Maya and she (ie, Maya) is always under His control, living beings (jīva, in the sense of humans) are the servants of Maya (in the form of ignorance).
In this philosophy God retains the traditional Christian role of an All loving, all forgiving Father, as portrayed in the Christian allegory of the Prodigal Son, yet God is also attributed with the qualities of complete oneness with all of mankind.

 Citrus: 'Under God' poses complex question
But the religious answer to the "under God" question is more complicated, as indicated by the unusual lineup of groups taking stands and what they're saying.
Victory for "under God" is inevitable, Stern said, so his group should offer a path to approval on narrow grounds.
He feared that if "under God" is banned, public fury might cause a "train wreck" - a constitutional amendment undermining the Supreme Court's separation rulings since 1947.

 Panentheism
If God's reality were destroyed or his purpose (for goodness) deflected by the events in the world, then God would not be the supreme effect, the perfect receptacle for the world.
God is distinct from the event not only in his abstract, eternal, essential self - identity but also in his concrete, temporal, and complex consciousness.
That is, at any time, God infinitely surpasses the perfection of the world, regardless of whether we consider the perfection of the world at that same time, at some previous time, at some future time, or at any combination of these.

 Aspects, by David Lampel - The Simple Ways of A Complex God
God is love, and that love is boundless, but it is His grace that affords humanity the opportunity to experience the full measure of His affection.
God also determined that because life was in the blood of a living thing, that blood would be the requirement for atonement.
God's answer to this rebellion was to enact the love for man that already filled His heart, to express it through His grace, and to offer man a way back into His arms.

A God complex is when a doctor believes that he has the power to save a person’s life when God might intend that person to die.

 God's Extremely Complex Plan of Salvation - ExChristian.Net - Articles
God says in the Bible that in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again (John 3:7).
1.1: The most fundamental notion of God is that "god" is simply the term we use to describe some force, process, effect (or possibly a being) which is in some way linked to or responsible for the existence and nature of the cosmos.
God cannot lie (as long as you ignore 1Ki 22:33; 2Chr 18:22; Jer 20:7; Ezek 14:9; 2Th 2:11).

One, the God of the Old Testament, is a vengeful deity who destroyed cities and demanded bloody sacrifice from his followers.
While the God of the New Testament bears little resemblance to this wrathful idol: sending his only begotten son to earth preaching love and forgiveness.
For while they continually invoke the name of God, they may be in the service of another entity altogether, with the promise of profits from arms sales and oil revenues, and a greater, expanded Israel, as reward.

 The Shrink with a God Complex
Ernest Jones, MD, a British disciple of Sigmund Freud who wrote the authorized biography of the great man, also published a number of technical articles that stand as landmarks in the early history of psychoanalysis, including one called "The God Complex." This is a fairly arresting title, almost irresistible in its satirical possibilities.
While first reading "The God Complex" some years ago, I had no idea that it was originally been presented as a lecture to a gathering of Freud's associates -- just after Carl Jung had broken with the master over various points of psychological theory.
"The God Complex" gets only a passing mention in A Life of Jung, but Ronald Hayman could well have taken it over as a title for his biography, which is a portrait of the psychologist as shamanistic visionary.

A recent Gallup Poll found that 45 percent of Americans believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years, and 39 percent believe that Darwin's theory of evolution is not supported by the evidence.
Macosko argues that the belief that life's complexity can be explained through chance and natural selection is in itself a form of faith.

 3 Gods?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In light of the many polytheistic religions around Israel, the Older Covenant emphasized the oneness of God, while, as we’ve read, still staying faithful to the subtle teaching of His complex and triune nature.
So, the New Covenant reveals the truth of God’s complex, triune nature not to imply that there is more than one God, but to be faithful to the revelation of God’s complex nature as seen in the older covenant.
We are to trust the testimony of scripture as the true revelation of God regarding both His nature, and His manner of reconciling sinful people to Himself: by forgiving their sins through His atonement in Messiah Yeshua (the Jewish way of saying Jesus).

Examining a complex system as a metaphor for God is a way to understand God through recent scientific discoveries.
Maybe God is not just a loving God, but has negative aspects that most of us would just assume not think about.
In the absolute confusion of relating God in a new way that challenges people to see Him in light of contradiction is precisely when the metaphor succeeds.

When I spoke these lines, “The Whiteman has a God complex,” I was referring to the White power structure, NOT individual White students or their families.
We are not calling for all-Black classes, or all-Black eating facilities — we are not against integration, we are not self-segregating — we desire and need safe spaces so we can rest in a place where we are not responsible for representing the entire Black community.
While I do not feel the need to justify my comment that the Whiteman has a God complex, I still feel as though I have to defend the right of students of color to make social commentary on the White power structure and its effects on everyone.

 The Trinity Explained
One form designates "singular unity" and a the second form describes "complex unity." In the Bible, these terms are expressed in the Hebrew as "yachid" (singular unity) and "echad" (complex unity, complex "oneness").
The Trinity doctrine holds to five distinct points: (1) There is only one God; (2) The Father of Jesus is God; (3) Jesus Christ is God; (4) The Holy Spirit is God; and (5) The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are separate and distinct, and aware of each other and in relationship with each other.
So God is a Tri-unity (Trinity), with each Person of the Godhead equally and fully and eternally God.

To be fair to West, he's not the first rapper to play God, in the person of his Son, Jesus.
In 1999, Nas stirred up quite a bit of controversy playing a "Christ-like" figure who is crucified and stoned in his video for "Hate Me Now." Mentor, producer, and collaborator Sean "Puffy/P. Diddy/Diddy" Combs is also shown being crucified.
