Reading the God website:

you need to sudo if you're using events on Linux or want to use the setuid/setgid functionality

System event listening require root permissions, so sudo is required. Also, if you want god to spawn processes under different user ID from your own, sudo is equally required. This is the basic permission requirement in UNIX.
