"We are God", "We are extensions of God", "We are like God"
These aren't equal statements. The first implies we ourselves are god(s). The second and third presuppose a separate being called god, humans only being extensions or similar to that god.

If we are god(s), then the classic definition for a god has to be ignored. If we are mere extensions or reflections of a god, then that idea is really not far removed from current theological thinking.
