I've been trying to point out that Maharaji is not lying about what you think he is lying about. He is NOT saying that he is not "the Lord".
He is NOT saying that he is not "Satguru".
He is NOT saying that he is NOT "Perfect Master".
As for "God", what definition of God are you using? What definition of "God" is/was Maharaji using? Are they the same definitions? Do you define "God" as omniscient? Do you define "the Lord" as omniscient? Do Christians believe that Jesus was omniscient (i.e. personally knew everything about everyone and everything)? What is the difference between "God" and the "son of God"? Why does the Bible make a distinction between the two? The concept of "God" is not a simple concept by any means.
Instead of talking about Maharaji claiming to be "God", if you talk about Maharaji claiming to be "the Lord", or claiming to be "Satguru", or claiming to be "Perfect Master", I would find your questions more straightforward to answer.
