This is such a stupid statement. It means nothing. You need to define God or god before it makes any sense. And even if you do define what you mean by God, it is still a pretty stupid statement.
Men in implementing Justice make decisions all the time where other men are stripped of their rights. Sometimes in the name of justice a certain man or men may strip another man of his freedom by jailing them (is that playing God?) and sometimes in the name of justice a man or men take another man's right to life.
You can not determine whether the taking of ones life by an another or others is ethical unless you you know the reasons for such action. The same is true of taking away a man's freedom.
To judge a killing without taking into considerations the reasons for such killing is stupid and ethically indefensible.
