My interpretation of god is; each one of us is a game character to a player “god” like Yamaguchi, the name of the game is “descendant”. Each god sends influence in the form of dream. Some people dream about the future and it happen, since it is a dream, it can be coincident or just the brain playing tricks so it was never an issue to us.
Our player “god” can only influence not by instruction and we the “characters” are subject to the influence of other characters, the game point is “power” in the form of “religion & wealth”. So we are driven by either and tend to form our own mini empires / dynasties with such power, even alter the religion to our own standards that gave advantages to followers so that they preserve it such as life after death and number of wives.
As a non believer, my “god-player” wants me to be independent and “play life” for the trophy “emotion”. The game point to my “god-player” is happiness versus misery. My “god-player” is experienced playing my ancestor and don’t play the descendant game anymore, I could not defy the sex urge and got married but am divorced with no children, I understand now that I can have sex without a marriage and love without condition.
Some “god-player” broke the rules by going against the law and ethics and turns their “characters” into criminals, robbing the “trophy” from others and game over if caught, on the contrary, decent “god-players” could loose their “characters” to anything we known as accident “rules of the game”.
When our “god-players” restarts the game, a child is born “reincarnation” or starts a new live from scratch. Some of them continue to rule as “sultan / king / queen” even take turn to be the Prime Minister and other “god-players” overthrow them with a revolution or invade and occupy and make it legal by religious rights.
Smart “god-players” exist long ago, they created religion and then became scientist / philosopher such as Newton, Einstein, Charles Darwin, Confucius… Animals & plants are accessories to sustain our live also to make the game interesting or else we will suspect the existing of “god-players” and the game will self destruct like mass suicide.
So, does your “god-player” know my “god-player”? We are being played.
What if a "God" is only as real as how you believe as something so unquantifiable as "feelings", such as "sincerity, and "frustration"?
