Christianity? Not particularly. I did see it as asking the questions why does God let people suffer, what's the meaning of life, etc.
But I wasn't particularly impressed with the metaphors or the depth. The most charitable thing I could say is that maybe Elly is a teenaged girl in the distant future with access to powerful computers that can create detailed virtual reality. She chose to create this virtual world, or perhaps was given the basic world by her teacher as a homework assignment on the nature of God and told to speculate on answers. But her answers are typical of any teenager, where the answers are too pat and everything still tends toward a happy ending. For example, we wonder how God could exist and not directly involve himself in our lives. Elly has no answer and can't resist the temptation to involve herself.
