• If you are a god amongst insects, it means you are the biggest or most powerful one; however, insects are small, so to be their "god" wouldn't require much power or stature. It's definitely NOT a compliment.

• The God that holds you over the Pit of Hell,

  much as one holds a Spider, or some loathsome Insect,

  over the Fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully

  provoked; his Wrath towards you burns like Fire;

  he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but

  to be cast into the Fire; he is of purer Eyes than to

  bear to have you in his Sight; you are ten thousand

  Times so abominable in his Eyes as the most hateful

  venomous Serpent is in ours.

  --Jonathan Edwards, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" sermon, 1741.

  So...yes; though, admittedly with a heaping side of hubris(/blasphemy) and a garnish of fundamentalist crazy...

• It's actually sort of an insult. To say you are god of the Universe is a compliment, meaning "You rule everything!! " To narrow it down to just the tiniest beings on one planet is saying you're not worthy to rule anything else.

  I'm a god among idiots myself.

• Personally I think it means that you are powerful, strong, significant, mighty, and in comparison, everyone around you are insects. I heard it in X-Men, I can only assume you did too. Seeing as how Magneto meant these words as a way of lifting Pyro up after he talks not-so-confidently of his powers, ("I can only manipulate the fire; I can t create it."), that s the meaning I took from it.

• Yes its a compliment. It means that if you were compared to everyone else around you, you are much, much better than the rest. It means that you are absolutely amazing, and everyone else ꜱᴜcκs

• I never heard that one!
