Is God A Gamer?

(Originally a Xanga Post)

So I once wrote a blog that no one read about God being a Gamer, and after playing Sims 2 for most of my weekend, I thought that I would revisit the idea, and write it with a little more finesse.

Anyone who knows of the Sims, or has played it know that it is a game that you control the characters you make. The characters are completely created by you: the physical features, their personality, and even what "turns them on/off." Their every action is controlled by the human-player.

Makes you wonder don't you? You are almost playing God with these computerized characters. They have needs like food, sleep, social life, and when they don't get it they look up at you, the player, and a thought bubble forms telling you what they want.

I did an experiment, to see what would happen if I let a household play out without me interfering at all. Within a matter of 15 regular (not Sim) minutes, all my characters were dead. Funny how that worked out huh?

I know that human society is alot more advanced and intricate than a simulation game, but it makes one wonder what God is really doing, don't you think? Could we live without any intervention?
