He thinks he can beat God in a fight, according to the original plot of The Final Frontier.

I dunno, I-Mockery did a short write up on Final Frontier not too long ago and according to them (Max Burbank specifically) Shatner's version had him run into not a god like entity, but God himself and Kirk had to fight him and actually won.

Here's a bit of it:

To start with, the Shat's original premise wasn't about a powerful alien masquerading as God. It was Kirk vs. God. And nobody could get the Shat to believe that a movie where Kirk went up against the lord almighty and handed him his omnipotent ass would be found... well, offensive by a lot of folks. He did eventually accept that absolutely no one was going to make that movie and backed off the idea that the baddy was authentically God, but he never did and still won't admit he was wrong.

Well, they talk about that too, God was supposed to summon lava men to fight Kirk, but the special effects budget got eaten up just trying to do test footage.

Hey, I never said they were credible, just pointed to what they had said. And having heard that Shatner has a huge ego and tries to make everything Star Trek related that he can get his hands on as Kirk-centric as possible, it sounded plausible. Keep in mind that really the only contributors to that site whose articles I don't usually just attempt to read then ignore when it gets boring or nonsensical are RoG and Protoclown's (and even saying that, we all know I have no love for Protoclown's work at times.) Burbank's articles could be full of errors constantly, but I wouldn't know, I just read The Final Frontier entry because it was up there at the top of the page with other shorts at the time.
