Choose your gods

I keep seeing this ad on tv for a game called Grepolis. Apparently it's a fantasy game where you create battles, etc. But the ad keeps saying, "Choose your gods." So I went to the website to see what gods were there to choose from. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the website without registering, so I didn't find out anymore, but I have a feeling Jehovah was not on the list of gods to choose from. Which doesn't make much sense. After all, none of the other gods are all powerful or all seeing, and they act like humans. Why wouldn't you want a god who was more powerful than you?
Joshua told the Israelites shortly before his death, "But if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you  now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15)  He told them to choose their god, but made clear that he and his family were choosing the Lord, and this wasn't a virtual reality game either. I have decided to serve the Lord, but I am not able to do this on my own. I have to rely on the strength He provides and not on my own limited strength.
