Is God Altruistic? Is God Happy?

[Rogue]

My answer to- Is God altruistic is no, that is not possible. Everything Yahweh does in the buy-bull is for his own pleasure such as worship by piss ants compared to His glory and magnificence.

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.

Well, on the topic of emotions, I don't see it's existence being tied to some purpose rather I see emotion as the outcome of complex intelligence primarily because emotion is seen almost in all living things though it's expressiveness seems to be tied to the level of intelligence, and secondly, at least in humans emotion seems to be quite detrimental to our survival at times

We have emotional reactions to events and experiences. An omniscient God that reacts emotionally at the time to events that it knew would occur before time began is ludicrous. You can't be aware of everything all the time, and still have it make sense to get angry or sad or happy because someone finally did something you always knew for a fact that they would do. The only emotion that makes sense for an omniscient being is boredom.

Hello Rogue, not sure we've crossed paths before.

Since god is man made, god can have what ever human emotions the believer wants, or a lack of emotions. You'll note that the bible believers have the amazing ability to rationalize away the stuff about god that should make them uncomfortable.

Well, according to the Bible, Yahweh does have emotions. Notably anger, jealousy and hatred.  And - in the unlikely even God does exist - he's also subject to mood swings.

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

1. 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; 
   

Given this definition without falling back to emotion why can't god be altruistic?

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.
