An area of Philosophical thought that seeks to understand the emotions attributed to god. The claim of an Emotionalist is that emotions as an evolutionary mechanism for survival would not apply to a perfect, self-sufficient being.
A cognitive understanding of emotions has demonstrated a link between emotional states and motivational responses. God as a perfect, self-sufficient being would not have motivations toward survival or a need for love. An eternal being for which there is no equal or greater by nature would not give rise to emotions but instead would act out its own will without regard of the emotional state of its creation.

Growing up with no one confiding anything in you so when you enter puberty you don't know how to interact with peers. You keep thinking something magical will fix it and you end up in your thirties having no friends and not being able to emotionally connect/bond/gel with anything other than dogs and maybe cats.
When I grew up no one talked to me so I never learned how to talk. This made me emotionally tonedef so that now the only communication I have is emotionless stuff about hard facts and topics. There's no joy in it. It feels like I have no where to go with anyone.
