    You're right. Sorry to hijack your thread.

    If you believe in god as an entity a bodyless entity, then I don't think his emotions, if he had any, could be triggered by chemicals. Perhaps they could be triggered by electricity or some thing...
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    If that's your view of god, that he sees into the future further than any human can, so that his evil deeds aren't bad, than I think in all fairness that you can't call his good deeds good.

    I like to think of Lost in this situation. You know the TV show? The characters must make myriad ethical decisions and some have more information than others, so there are misunderstandings that result.

    Anyway, suppose I have more information about a person than you do. I know that person is a murderer and they are likely to murder again at any moment. You don't know that and you're best friends with them.

    I lock your friend up in jail because he was lunging at you with a knife while you were asleep. You didn't know that happened. You ask me why I locked up your friend for no reason.

    This is like us asking God why He insists on carrying out his will in the universe. We cannot know the end result of His decisions, you can only take His word for it. That is trust, and it is essential to all relationships. Religious people call that trust "faith."
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    We are God manifest. God is in and behind/underneath/above absolutely everything. God Is. God is All. Therefore we as our God-selves experience the emotions of God--we are God. God is the potential of everything, and we as God-selves actualize this potential. There is no separation between us and God, except in our awareness. We act out God's dream. God is us and so much more than we are as individuals.

    could be, some form of highpowered energy...

    perhaps blackholes and wormholes are the answer to this?? :confused:

    It amazes me that people can defend an insane war on drugs while turning a blind eye to a common sense approach, talk down to people that are concerned about personal freedoms, mock speculation about 9/11 being an inside job etc etc…..then sit and have a straight faced, speculative discussion on whether the little all-seeing, all-powerful man in the clouds has a brain? Wtf?

    ...does God have emotions?

    Short answer: I don't know.
    Long answer: I don't pretend to know.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    The Biblical God certainly has emotions. Spinoza's God doesn't.

    Nice choice of word "Wired" we certainly are wired just like machines are.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    I'm in on this line of thinking. We are God to so many things that exist within us.

    We are our own universes so to speak. We all came from a tiny compressed microscopic point in space relatively speaking. Literally. Watch Cosmic voyage from Imax folks if you haven't...great material to be lit up on.

    We were all once as close to each other as can possibly exist within this realm. All you herbalists out there.....light something up to that and go hmm

    (p.s anti pot/anti hippie people I haven't been high in almost 2 months...on my mothers grave) lol...(kind of)

    oh yeah cosmic voyage bit torrent narrated by Morgan Freeman...look for it (3rd one down)
