I didn't intend nor desire for this to be a religious discussion, hence my posting in philosophy and my previous utterance of this fact. I did however address your question. Are we going to continue down this road because I'd prefer to keep the conversation about something within human perspective to know?
Well? Does god have human emotions? I'd like to add in that you've suggested such with the God is love thing. Can we somehow rule out a God Is Hate variant? I've capitalized here to give it some total other meaning than the words suggest, but I guess you catch my drift.
Well, about being on topic, the context on this forum rather suggests this site is not solely about some fluffy teen-talk attempt at psychology and since your god is a personal god why leave him out?

since God isn't human I would say he doesn't have human emotions. I've never suggested that God has human emotions and I'm about done with your semantic tomfoolery.I would like to leave God out in this instance, to limit the vairables to ones we could actually know something about and prevent the same sort of ridiculous pointless posts the past few have been.

So, if god is not capable of human emotions, than why associate him with love?
I think I'm totally on topic here, your OP does not exclude divine hate and a lot of hate is religion-driven. Frankly I think a lot hate is divinely inspired and arises from fear of gods. Did you not suggest that fear is behind hate in your OP?

KN Really in 2 different thread you're spamming that drivel.. sigh .. please go and post in in every other thread
PR-I agree that fear is a major driving force in hate. I agree that lots of religion have and do use fear to manipulate and control the populace. If you want to keep the topic on that I'm fine with it, however that is different then "Why associate God with love" One is talking specifically of human interations and another of some as yet defined concept you're barely pretending to accept much less understand.

OK, I'll rephrase that one for you in that other thread.

Hate comes from a severe, persistent dislike of something fundamental ('essential') to the object of hate. Hate is useful, and fun.
"Philosophy would do well to desist from issuing any further injunctions about the need to re-establish the meaningfulness of existence, the purposefulness of life, or mend the shattered concord between man and nature. It should strive to be more than a sop to the pathetic twinge of human self-esteem. Nihilism is not an existential quandary but a speculative opportunity." - Ray Brassier
