I said that by manteling Shor he became a god, yes he mimiced Shor, but he mimiced him so well that the world could no longer tell them apart, he essentially became the new Shor.

the Aedra are bound to the world of mortals and can influence it, but they have no real power, it took all the power Akatosh had to possess Martin to fend off Dagon. besides that one event the Aedra haven't actively done much. no matter how strong the Aedra are, even the eight of them combined would not be able to make a mortal into an Aedra, that would be far beyond them.

Talos is a god, not an Aedra, but a Divine indeed.

The Arkay was a human theory isn't true. and if it actually was true the thalmor wouldn't be after him because Arkay has nothing to do with holding Mundus in Balance, like Talos does now that he has taken the place of Shor.
