Godly Motivations

Actually, it does. One can experience some things hundreds of times before all the novelty is gone, but it will eventually be gone, due to hedonic tone and simple familiarity.

If god is without limits then there's literally nothing new for him to experience. He encompasses all possible knowledge and experience.

This really gets at the incoherence of god concepts. A god is not anything but a very powerful denizen of the natural world if it is not ominipotent and omnipresent and so forth. Yet if he is those things he becomes a logical self-contradiction. He cannot be omnipotent and omniscient and omnipresent and also experience love, desire, disappointment, jealousy, hatred, etc ... all of which are ascribed to the gods at some point or other.
