I'm new here too (just opened my account a couple of days ago).
I was intrigued by your opening lines about playing GOD. Although I do believe that we have the power to influence our lives, I don't think any individual has the power to actually play the role of God. It is my belief that as children of God (as stated in the Christian belief), we are in fact an integral PART of what God is made of.
I have lately learned a bit about our own bodies and how our gut (or intestines) actually function. It is interesting to note that the bacteria in our guts are an essential part of our own survival (we cannot live without them). They are living organisms (independent from our own body cells), yet are able to communicate with our brains and tell us what we should eat! Cravings for sugar are sent from the bad bacteria and cravings for wholesome foods are sent by the good bacteria. A proper balance of good bacteria leads to a healthier life.
The same way that these bacteria are living in a symbiotic relationship with our bodies is how I view our relationship with God (or any other name you wish to call this SuperPower). I believe that there is some kind of energy that binds all living things together and that we can influence our own future by the simple act of truly believing in something.
Good luck with your game! Hopefully my son and I get our game out in a year too.
