How would you react in this situation?

What would you do if someone in your social circle claimed to be the Christ Eternal?

[Whitney]

I would react the same way most others would, think my friend had gone insane.

[The Magic Pudding]

Our circle just holds out their glasses for replenishment.

[Velma]

I would react the same way most others would, think my friend had gone insane.

Yep - and try to get my friend help.

[Asmodean]

I would react as I usually do (unless it directly affects me) - not at all.

If it was a close friend, however, unlikely as it is with MY close friends, I'd probably psychoanalyse the guy and act accordingly to my findings.

[Gawen]

Now, assuming I know the person is on some sort of medicine to keep him sane, if the person ran out of meds or didn't take them, I'd be video taping his antics and show him what he does when not taking them. But I'm not about to coddle him and make sure he takes his meds. I don't have time for people too stupid or negligent enough not to take their medicine.

On the other hand, people who must take life saving or sanity saving meds are in my social circle. People that are dumb enough not to take them are not.

[LARA]

I would give them a glass of water.

What would you do if someone in your social circle claimed to be the Christ Eternal?

Ask why he/she thinks that.  But that's how I react to anything astonishing.  I ask why.  And boy would this be astonishing, considering my social circle.

[Achronos]

Can your friend come over to my house and transform water into wine, I'm awfully low in stock.

[dgmort19]

I would amuse myself by providing them numerous opportunities for them to prove their godhood. Really, though, a claim of that magnitude is indicative of psychosis. It is a delusion of grandeur that exceeds the limitations of a simple delusional disorder and ascends headlong into the realm of something akin to schizophrenia. I'd be interested to know whether this person displays other odd symptoms.

Clearly the best course of action would be to become this person's agent. Help spread the word that this person is, in fact, the big JC. Help them gain followers, there's plenty of whack jobs out there who'll believe it, I mean, there's still plenty of them who believe the nutjob 2000 years ago. And just look how much money they still get off that guy!
Profit, profit, profit!!
Milk this cashcow for all it's worth, that's what I say.  

If that doesn't work, deem him crazy and move on.

[kelso]

I had a friend that did this after a binge of some sort of hallucinogen (mescaline? not sure) but he went into a state of psychosis for about a month, claiming he was some sort of god, and trying to heal us all, and preform miracles.  He also thought they were flying him to some foreign country to worship him.  It was funny as hell, but if anyone questioned him or implied he was just crazy, he went nuts, and even threatened to kill some of his close friends over the fact they didn't believe him.  I just went along with everything he was saying because I knew it wasn't really him and that soon he'd be back to normal.  I just recommend being careful in what is said around him/her if you have any worries that they will become violent.

Also record all the crazy shit they say, this happened over two years ago yet we still will pull out the old recordings of him, and laugh our asses off.

[MariaEvri]

what is a christ eternal?
Im guessing its some sort of religious fanatics group?
I would say "uh-huh ok,..."
and avoid him foreverafter

[Tank]

What would you do if someone in your social circle claimed to be the Christ Eternal?

Have a good laugh and then move onto the next joke  

[Achronos]

Seriously though may the Lord have mercy on you both.
