Earl Johnson was possessed and believed he was God.
History
Earl Johnson was a wealthy oil magnate who happened upon a belt buckle in a gift shop in New Mexico. This belt buckle made Johnson believe he was God, and he gave away all his money and changed his name to God Johnson. His wife checked him into Westridge Canyon Psychiatric Hospital, where a murder of an orderly occurs. Johnson is considered the primary suspect, and Lucifer Morningstar goes undercover as a mental patient at the hospital to investigate both the murder and the fact that Johnson may actually be God, his father. Lucifer witnessed God Johnson heal a wounded patient, confirming his suspicions before punching his father in the face. Lucifer expressed his anger with his dad, but God Johnson didn't even know why Lucifer was so angry. After they're both kidnapped by the real murderer, Nurse Kipsey, God Johnson apologizes to Lucifer for all he had done to him. However, when Nurse Kipsey removed Johnson's belt buckle, he reverted back to normal, forgetting all his time as God Johnson. Lucifer realized his real father would never say any of the things Johnson had said to him, as Earl went back to Texas.
