Emotionalism

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.
Emotionalism explores the emotional and motivational mechanisms of a creator god.
