Why should I reject that?

Sort of hoped YOU wouldn't, while knowing full well OTHERS would. 🙂

I would reject only the word (Him) since it would be grammatically incorrect because the verb "to be" takes the same case after it as it does before it.

#1 Some think there is a God

#2 I don't think it is me

He is the subjective pronoun: He stole my eggs.
Him is the objective pronoun: It was him who stole my eggs.

As the pronoun is in the objective state, the correct expression is therefore "You are not Him." You are correct, however, that the verb is uninflected.

EDIT: You could say, "He is not you." But then the verb is inflected.

I agree with most of what you say, especially your examples using part of the conjugation of the verb "to steal" and that rule certainly applies to all verbs in the English language, with the sole exception of the conjugation of the verb "to be" When using that verb, the subjective noun or pronoun remains subjective after the verb, just as it does in Latin grammar. E.g. It was I, I am he, You are not He is, I submit, the correct grammar, although common usage disregards the rule.

It's common in everyday talk to follow the verb "to be" with object pronouns, but that practice is not formally correct. What you say would be true if "to be" and its related forms were transitive verbs, but they are not transitive verbs. In this case, the pronoun takes the form of the subject complement of a linking verb. The proper pronoun case is subjective: You are not He.

EDIT: Basically what muppyman already said. I just read his response.

My fault. The verb "to be" is copular in this instance. So the two pronouns are equivalent. As LemonJello said, I got confused between the two, mistaking the verb as transitive - with my example "to steal".

From now on I will only post in the afternoon.

#1 - Might not be true

#2 - If #1 is true, I believe I am God. At least I can prove I exist, which puts me ahead of all other gods there are out there.

God is a gentleman. He always respects the excercise of your free will and wiould never coerce it. He has revealed

Himself to mankind (in the design and function of the natural world, The First Advent of Christ and in The Word

of Truth) and is offering you a free gift. You have a perfect right to ignore and/or reject it. Choice is up to you.
