I understand that you think that way, but let's take a simple example that comes to mind right now—there are many more if you look—and that is: let's say I wanted to make a game about you specifically. I use your full name and ID, and your address, so that it clearly refers to you and there's no confusion with anyone else. Then, in the game, I portray you as a child molester, a terrorist, and a murderer. Based on your example, I assume you'd have no problem with your neighbors and relatives seeing this game and asking, 'Isn't this you?' And you'd just reply, 'No, it's just the game developer using my name in a fictional way—that's not really me.' And I'd then have the right to make all the games I want and mock as I please because it's all 'fictional'. So what about the God who created you?

I see where you come from and I respect your devotation to your religion. What I think is lost in translation or in comunication here is the fact that we never use the name of God. We do use the noun "god" whoch a synonim for deity, but in this contest it is purely storytelling. Like in the greek milythology or any others  there is the god of war, god of love and so on. Multiple entities that are reffered to as gods. Likewise, in this game, if you get to the very end you find out what the name of this deity is, and it is not "God". The story is not set in a world where crestianity exists, it is purly fictional. The characters don't exist, the deity is not warshiped nor is it hated. I hope that clarifies things. If you want to talk more I would be glad but as for this chat, it is not in the scope of this game jam.
