You might be able to secretly pull this off though while partying with somebody and while you're already laying down a huge chain of buffs on them.

*an unknown Cleric walks up to a wizard and casts divine revelation on him*

"My god doesn't like you!"

*wizard returns the spell with combust and laughs as the cleric runs around in circles with his head on fire*

"Wow, my god REALLY doesn't like you!"

Conversely, it would be funny for a Corathite priest to cast virtue on a person, drop his jaw and proclaim "Fetch the torches and pitchforks, we have a Corathite!"
Let us not dig the old thread up...but the ruling on this is that the "spell" divine relation is really just a "feeling" your pc gets from their god. There is no component, visual or somatic casting going on.

I have used this spell a lot on large parties during a DM event, to see who I will help/not help. I have had pcs start rping that "casting spells on me will get you killed ect" and sometimes they have sent me tells saying "please do not cast on my pc without asking".

Just make sure to explain to them in tells that they did not actually see you cast a spell, but due to game mechanics that is the only way the spell could be put in the game. You can also refer them to this post.
