    How Does God Feel? Is God always angry at his creations? Does he/she/it ever express anything other than human emotions?

    Is that because we are supposed to be created in His/Her/Its image?

    Is it that God imposed his engrams upon us, and thus we are a reflection of how He/She/It feels?

    Or is God an emotionless, heartless entity and everything we think about God is merely our own projections?

    Or is God just a meme used to control and manipulate the masses?

    My concept of God is that "God" is not measureable in human emotions or any other limiting terms. Anything that we as man are currently experiencing is a result of our own collective behaviors and resultant consequences. I don't think turning to God to intercede will relieve our collective problems. Collective mankind has shit in it's own well and now we gotta drink the funky water.

    To satisfy my own spiritual needs I offer gardens, trees, respectful environmental behaviors. To address the collective anxiety that we are experiencing I try to offer kindness and calm responses to what I encounter.

    What else can we do...faith in the traditional religions is a diversion from reality as I see it. All religions are a construct of man and thus serve men...usually a handful somewhere who are in charge.

    God is a being that is beyond all human description. God is our creator while we are the creation. The use of human emotion to describe God is only used because no words exist to describe the true majesty and greatness of God. God's true appearance isn't known. We were merely created in the image of God's first creation.

    Some say that God feels through us; that humankind was created in order for God to experience duality, etc.

    God is an easy answer to a very complicated question.

    Lord would you take me away
    Take me from all of this pain
    The sun dont shine where im from
    All we get here is just rain
    In the wicked place i have grown
    Everything ive got on my own
    Some say im living in hell
    But my whole life has been homed
    And i gotta get away
    Free my mind
    I feel like an animal trapped in a cage
    Problems they double then triple
    This life is not simple like goo goo back in the day
    Stackin my pay
    Cause all i ever do now
    Haters out think so im packin a tray
    Hate when a problem is great
    I get drunk i get high i hope i can laugh it away
    But i know it dont work like that
    Gotta stay tough
    IM trying to take over and have a monopoly
    Standing my ground so that nothing can topple me
    I try to live right and handle my business and even try to pray
    I hope that it all pays off so that if i want i can fly away

    Since God is not a human most likely to me anything but human emotions. Although some emotions seem not to be exclusively human anyway :D

    I'm not convinced or even sure to what extend we are...

    Could be for sure, I choose to believe God is not only the result of projection though.

    Not just but it's of course clear that God is abused by our fellow humans for those purposes.

    Some people confuse God with religion.

    God isn't used to manipulate people -- religion is.

    To me, God isn't found in any religion, but within oneself. Religion is designed to divert people's attention away from looking within.

    People believed in "God" long before the religions were established to hijack people's minds.

    I'm god, and so are you. Every human and every living creature is a part of god, and we're all working towards being god, just in little pieces. God is the collective consciousness that's made up by all of the energy in the universe, and thus all of the thought and action and creation in the universe. It's the thing that links every person to each other. God is everyone, all together. It contains every bit of information that's ever been or ever will be known along with everything that's ever been or ever will be experienced or created. God isn't anything to be sought after or prayed to, it's simply something to be a part of, and everyone is whether they like it or not.

    Edit: I suppose I didn't answer the question. God feels everything that everyone has ever felt or will ever feel, so I imagine it would be very sympathetic.

    Possibly like any other parent who is disappointed with the choices we make.

    Would I purport to know how God feels? I strongly believe that we are inherently incapable of comprehending what we have chosen to label as "God" so we instead have made various attempts to recreate God in our own image... and append to that creation human characteristics that reflect our own frailties and limitations... yet we insist that God is without limitations.

    An omniscient God would already know what we are to do so disappointment is a contradiction in reaction to our deeds... they'd already be known and disappointments are the fruit produced by sowing the seeds of expectations. One thing I'm almost completely certain about is that I do not have a direct line to God and I'm almost as certain that neither does anyone else.

    "How does God feel?"

    My smart ass facet wants to pipe in, "with his fingers" for the cheap laugh... but how do I know he has fingers. Perhaps all our fingers are his... are are our hearts and minds... and what he is feeling at any given time is the grand sum total of what the entire human population is feeling...

    ...or perhaps he's feeling more. Are we the only soul bearing creatures whose origins might be explainable only by cosmic inclusions... perhaps an immense population of lizard beings on a distant world are pondering their own existences and wondering how God, created as a grand omnipotent, omniscient lizard, might feel about them...

    Perhaps this very response to this thread is the critical first domino in a sequence of energies and reactions that will precipitate the end of the universe.

    Probably not... it might upset the lizard people.

    if god had a brain he'd realize he doesn't exist

    as far as the hallucinogenic biblical conspiracy goes

    if god wasn't a half baked moron with ego bigger than Chuck Norris he'd realize he has a criminal record bigger than Hitler I'd say he feels like a unsympathetic egotistical manipulating narcissistic delusional overly self aware douche bag with emotional problems like bipolar who forces you to love him and has all the characteristics of human neurotic-ism who's self worth depends on others ...i bet he feels like a real sick piece of shit covered fermented goat piss
