You gave a machine, great. I'm not a Sims person but I think that program can run on many machines by many manufacturers (correct me if I'm wrong). You don't believe that the same person that wrote Sims also builds all of the computers available do you? So in your analogy now we have multiple gods.
Also, let's say there is only one Sims programmer and one Microsoft/Xbox computer (et al, any computer system) and that entity becomes god the creator. This god should be the only entity that can effect what it has created. I think we both know that is not correct. Now there are even more gods, gods that have more power than the creator god. Where does this analogy end? The logical end point would be an ultimate god, basically your god (or jew, muslim, hindu, .......).
We're back to square one, prove that your god exists.
Nope, answering your first paragraph above, Microsoft who builds xbox, also builds games. So, we are far ahead of the first square.
As for your second paragraph above, the rules of earth don't apply to rules of God. For eg, God used raw material of "nothingness" (Larence Krauss), while Microsoft used atoms.

This is a funny one: Asking on an atheist forum whether you are a true Christian or not?
I have been questioning my goals wrt to my faith for some months now.
Trying to battle with myself really.

Yeah I'm starting to wonder if she's a poe.
I was hoping for strong responses from theists on this atheist forum here, who I thought would have strong responses, you know, being that they are here?
