Unbelievable. Someone who makes a statement like this has never cracked open the bible, or understood any it, if he has Consider that dispassionate means
free from or unaffected by passion; devoid of personal feeling or bias; impartial
Do you believe in a God who is swayed by passions, who can be bribed, who is prejudiced, and partial? Or do you just not understand some English words? Just what part about the dispassionate God do you find offensive?

You have no understanding of God if this is what you believe about Him. You can find out all about Him in the bible. God spoke to all of His prophets using pathos. Look it up

Do you believe in a God who is swayed by passions The fact that God is passionate does not imply that He can be swayed by the passions of others. His passions are perfect and self-contained and resolute.
In fact, it is the passion of God that sways men.
