Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that?

  “Love” in the scriptures is typically a verb, e.g., “God so loved the world…” It describes an action that God does, not a feeling. God’s love is his acting in a loving way towards undeserving people.

  Exactly, that’s a perfectly theologian explanation, it sounds good, but doesn’t stand the least bit of scrutiny.
  Already the creation story on the first pages says god created light and saw the light is good. How is it good without subjective emotion?
  How exactly are gods emotions supposed to be different. Does good mean something different to god?

  Religion is worthless bullshit.

    To play gods advocate, good isn’t an emotion. Good is a state of being, that could be defined and then other things can be judged by that definition to be good or not.

    Subjective? Sure. But no emotion needed for subjectivity.
