They're all laughing at you behind your back.
"I need to go to the toilet. #2. Immediately."
Heavens full, sorry guys you're all gonna have to go to hell.

"The other religion is the true one."
I feel like a way worse thing to say would be "your religion is the right one." This would 100% increase religious tensions and fan the flames of fanaticism. Saying the other one is true isn't likely to play into people's already established worldviews and established worldviews are not changed by a single sentence regardless of who or how it's said.

"Run."
Oooooh good one

Do they know it’s my thought or do they think it’s their own?
"YOU ARE MY CHOSEN DISCIPLE. GO FORTH AND SLAY THE NON-BELIEVERS IN MY NAME."
Don't even say who you are. Everyone will just assume it's the god they already believe in. And everyone who doesn't believe in a god would start questioning everything.
"Did you just switch it to broadcast? Fuck, turn it off!"
"All right, fuck it, we'll do it live!"

It’s not round, but it’s not flat either!
"Is this thing on ?" And then never say anything further.
'YOU! You know what you did! Make it right!'
Then sit back and look at all the guilty faces.
Might as well add a threat to it to really drive the point home.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!!
If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.
"This is not you, this is god, you are the new messiah like my son Jesus before you. It is up to you to right all that's gone wrong in my world. Many will come forward and say that they received this message but do not be fooled for that is Satan trying to defeat you."
Then I get popcorn and watch the whole world burn.
I think if you said son or sons and left out "Jesus" you would get greater effect. Make it ambiguous enough that it calls to every Abrahamic religion.
use "your god" instead of god, "chosen one" instead of messiah and "evil" instead of satan and you get the polytheistic religions to join in as well.
also, some highly confused star wars fans, maybe.
Or just say "you are the antichrist. Go forth and conquer"
Kind of against the letter of the rule since this isn't really intended to cause chaos for the sake of chaos,but I'm sure chaos will result nonetheless.
"This is God, there's a reason why i put variations on love thy neighbor in every single religion. Differences in faith and race don't matter, helping others and making the world a better place do. You've disappointed me, do better"

I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately.

“You just lost The Game.”
Appropriate blast from the past!
Funny thing about that, it's a losing battle to spread it since by the very rules of "the game", you thought about the game to post it, and thus lost :D
Ah, however, one plays not to win, but to force others to also lose.
I would find it irresistible to do, "So long, and thanks for all the fish."
"We heard you. We're on our way."
"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."
"There is no Heaven or Hell. The only Paradise is that which you create for others by your own hand. And you are failing."
"nah, don't tell the humans, it would just cause panic and there's nothing they can do anymore"
Geico could save you 15% or more on car insurance. Keep honking to save 1% per second.

The rapture of the holy happened five minutes ago and no one was saved. The next 3.5 years will be chaos, starvation and death. Save yourself if you can.
Something like "This is God speaking." and "You were right, and all the other religions were wrong". Nukes would just fling flang and we'd finally just end it.
My message is in stereo. In the right ear, a booming, authoritative voice saying "Question everything, don't trust authority, the God you believe in might not be real."
In the left ear, a serpentine voice telling them to trust their religious leaders, you don't know much yourself, you can't trust your logic, you have to have faith.
