I never said he is an actual "god", but he is very god-like. He has advanced regenerative capabilities, he has nearly-unmatched power, and to a degree he truly is immortal. Every time he dies, he either comes back to life or is succeeded by another member of his kind. The 1954 Godzilla was either replaced by another member of his kind or completely regenerated after his death (depending on the continuity). The Heisei Godzilla came back to life after MechaGodzilla 2 killed him, and after his meltdown his essence lived on after it essentially merged with Junior and revived him. The GMK incarnation of Godzilla completely regenerated his entire body after being killed by the Oxygen Destroyer and was shown to be regenerating from just a heart at the end of the movie. Godzilla is not an immortal god, but he is basically a vengeful deity that will always continue to exist, as both a defender of the planet and a punishment for humanity.
