My answer to- is God happy is no, I think it needs a psychiatrist.I am perplexed as to why God would even have emotions. Human emotions have a function. Love for reproduction and sanctity of life. Anger for strength. Guilt for self-reflection. I think you see where I'm going with this. Yea, I cannot reconcile how a disembodied brain would even exist even in the strangest of places in our universe. I am not trying to claim there is, I do not believe the woo woo. If somebody can convince me why the supreme being that existed before time and space has emotions, I might change my mind.
If god is not altruistic then what was the Jesus on the cross thing about?
After reading the rest of your post let's define altruism as emotion is not a key factor to altruism's execution.
al·tru·ism
/ˈaltro͞oˌizəm/
noun
Given this definition without falling back to emotion why can't god be altruistic?
- the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.
"some may choose to work with vulnerable elderly people out of altruism"
synonyms:
unselfishness, selflessness, self-sacrifice, self-denial;
Because God is not selfless. God demands various things (prayer, sacrifice, belief, approved behavior) in return for his good graces. If God were truly altruistic, atheistic, baby-roasting killers would always be in God's good graces.
