Lastly, it is important to recognize that Hashem has no emotions. This somehow seems to escape the attention of many people. . . Humans have a natural tendency to ascribe human qualities and emotions to G-d. Indeed, pagan gods are nothing more than imagined beings with the same feelings and characteristics of the people who worship them. We must be very careful not to project our own qualities onto Hashem, as the prophet admonishes: "The Children of Israel ascribed things that were not so to Hashem their G-d" (Melachim II 17:9)..
