God Receives Accolade From Cyberspace For Developing 'Real' World

God has been acknowledged as the most bankable deity, in a list published in the World of Warcraft.

"God has created a fantastic 'real' world," said a humble shepherd-turned-paladin, Elorian the Wanderer. "Every single day, many people spend several hours in his highly-detailed realm engaged in all kinds of mundane activities. For example, my real character lives the reckless, heroic life of an estate agent."

"It's not just about raising families and working hard to make ends meet," he enthused. "Lots of people are fighting and dying in God's world, just for the fun of it really."

"There's just so much going on," he added, but conceded: "Although, of course there will always be some people who just give it a cursory glance and decide they prefer virtual reality."

Since God created his award-winning World in 4004BC, it has attracted an ever-growing number of followers.

"There are currently over six billion subscribers to the World of God, and the numbers are growing every day," said a spokesman for the bankable developer, the improbably-named Pope Benedict XVI. "All of them are happy to keep paying through the nose for the privilege of staying in the game."

The white-garbed cleric then went back to his favourite real-life pastime, wandering through the 'Holy Realm' stirring up trouble by spreading his chaotic, evil beliefs.
