RE: Some (nonscientific) thoughts about religion / God plus the question if genes are responsible for being 'spiritual'.

What if, this (our reality) is comparable to a game? Let me put it another way: You know how the Bible states that God created Eve because he didn't want Adam to be alone? Is it because God identified with this feeling? there is a consistent theme throughout the Bible of the Chosen Ones being referred to as "The Bride" that God is to wed at the end of this stage in our existence. The theme is re-enforced by God calling those who fall away from him "adulterers", and several times Israel is called an "unfaithful wife". We are told to love God above all else in this world, and to put Him first and remain faithful to him until "the end".
So, it would seem like God is looking for love, but has us play a game of sorts, one that gives us choices. At the end the faithful players are rewarded, while the unfaithful "adulterers" are destroyed.
Just a thought I've had before, noticing this reoccurring theme in the Bible.
