How can you say you don't think Godzilla is like a god if you just described the reasons that he is? Godzilla exists to restore balance on the planet, he is an almost supernatural, nearly indestructible force of nature. His motivations are not the same as Zilla's at all. Zilla couldn't care less about the balance of nature, Zilla only wanted to continue his species. Godzilla also wants to just survive and when given the opportunity he will raise other members of his kind as his own children to ensure the survival of his species, but he also seeks to keep the natural order in check. Godzilla never actively seeks out to destroy humanity (except in GMK), but he is perfectly willing to punish them for their crimes against nature or to fight back against them if he is attacked. Zilla was oblivious to human presence when he came to New York and when he was attacked he either ran away or ambushed his attackers.
