It's not so much the words that are to be believed as their meaning which is unmistakable in their most genuine form. I'm not talking about vague or cryptic prophesies but the general message of the bible. Love your neighbor as yourself, worship only the true God, follow basic laws of human nature - those are not destroyed by translation.

This game uses fictional representation of fictional gods. Most complex books use fictional deities to enhance the plot. There's nothing wrong with that - you're not worshipping a god, only enriching your mind by imagining its existance. I would never at any point believe ideas of gods from fictional books.
What would be wrong is worshipping said gods. It would be wrong on so many different planes as well. First and foremost is spiritual. It's not possible that such a thing exists. Second and close behind is intellectual. You are a moron if you even consider believing that stuff.
In response to your belief in a law stating not to create a false god, let me point you to the beginning of the ten commandment:
"EXODUS 20:5 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them;"
Idol: An image used as an object of worship.
As you can clearly see, I would not be creating idols. I would be providing a source of entertainment that would not bring anyone away from God.
As for the golden calf (not bull), it was created by the Israelites when they lost faith in god after Moses had been gone on the mountain for several years. They worshipped the calf which caused God's angry retribution - 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. The key word is worship . If they had simply made a golden calf and hung their coats on it there would have been no problem.
I think Nyck should refer to Matthew 7:3 before he decides to critisize me on my actions or beliefs.
