Is God Altruistic? Is God Happy?

[Acrobat]

Since God is immutable, God can't feel differently towards Jacob than he does towards Essau. It can only be that he is the same towards both of them, but both Jacob and Esau experience it differently. Since God's immutability is a fundamental orthodox belief, passages of scripture written of in such away are recognized more metaphorically than literally, as expression of the limits of human language when speaking of God. 

Then what is the point of speaking about God at all?  Since human language is necessarily limited, then EVERYTHING said by or about God is a metaphor.  'God created the heavens and the earth' actually means 'God likes extra cheese on his burritos' and 'I am the lord thy God' is a metaphor for, 'Must dash, I'm late for a dental appointment'.

Something being a metaphor doesn’t mean it can mean anything we want it to mean.

Example
The classroom was a zoo.
Jamal was a pig at dinner.

We understand the meaning of such metaphors quite clearly, even though we recognize the expressions aren’t literal.

Jamal was a pig at dinner, can’t mean Jamal didn’t eat dinner, or barely ate his dinner, or just picked at his food.
