I feel like what you've tried to make here is interesting, a life-choices CYOA can be quite a good type of game.
On the other hand I feel like the game advances awfully fast, and the implied morality that was thrust upon me when I chose a non-religious path seemed a bit over the top.
Admittedly it made me giggle, because it just seemed so incredibly out of nowhere. I mean, Suddenly Jesus and quite a few very heteronormative choices along the way. The initial paths also didn't match up with anything I would've actually done as a person.
It's functional though, nothing broke, and completing the game took me back to the beginning as it should've.
Good job on getting the content in during the dare.
I do not agree with the views expressed in this game.
An innovative idea. I'm not sure if I missed some of your points or something (I am very tired at the moment) but this smelled a look like Christianity to me, at least at the end. I like the title :P
I was going to be disappointed in your reductionist views of utilitarianism, but then I realized you were actually talking about utAlitarians. And I think we can all agree, those guys suck.
That said, the dialog was pretty funny, and you DO say up front that it represents your views, so I can't really fault you there.
I have to say, the way this game was leaning made me troll it as hard as I could.
I tried to party as long as I can and ended up married, not really the kind of party I expected.
I found the game a bit weird but it's an original and interesting take on the theme.
Aleluia!
Good idea.. Or God idea lol

THIS!!1
Quite unique "game", I'm not sure I can call it fun, but it's interesting for sure.
Just wanted to mention that you have to provide source in one way or another to comply with the compo rules.
Hitler...he was definitely bad.
It made me think...
Cool, although I don't understand why death always results in bible quotes, it would've made more sense to have different endings depending on your character's world views that they developed throughout the experience.
