Get the Pinocchio Complexmug. Someone who believes that they are the embodiment or equivalent of Jesus Christ. These people are often known to have an over active ego as well. Said person will go around acting as if they can heal the lame and make the blind see, and in doing so, believes they are really performing "miracles". People with a Jesus Complex will often ask women if they'd like to "let Christ enter their bodies" as well. These people are considered dangerously stupid and should be approached with condemnation and extreme prejudice.
Sally - Some guy at the party last night kept asking me if I'd like to let Jesus Christ into my body, then he told me that, he, was Jesus.
Christie - Really? That guy must have a total Jesus Complex. What an asshole.

Get the Jesus Complexmug. A mindset where you think you are legendary and and godly at everything you do. Commonly found in people with bad hair and people that have a C as the first letter of their first name. And anyone with a N in the laster letter of their last name definitely has a god complex. If you have C as your first letter of your first name and N in the last letter of your last name then your god complex is deadly. Anyone with a deadly god complex will get beaten up many times for thinking they are so good. They are also infectious
