Mirza Husayn Ali (alias Baha'u'llah) was so out to lunch he actually believed, as did some of his followers, that he was god incarnate:
It was perhaps owing to this inadequacy that, at one stage during the ministry of Bahá'u'lláh, there were two major schools of thought among the believers concerning His station. Some believed Him to be the Supreme Manifestation of God, while others went further than this. When Bahá'u'lláh was asked about His station, He confirmed that as long as individuals were sincere in their beliefs, both views were right, but if they argued among themselves or tried to convert each other, both were wrong. This indicates that man because of his finite mind will never be able to understand the true station of the Manifestation of God. The criteria are sincerity and faith. Knowing man's limitations, God accepts from him what he is able to achieve.
(Adib Taherzadeh, The Revelation of Baha'u'llah v 1, p. 303)
Thankfully they have medication today to help those that begin to
believe they are god incarnate ;^).

Thing about thinking that another human being is god is that it is the same thing as thinking a golden calf is god. Idolatry is idolatry no matter what the idol.
