"Prompt: They say anger is a secondary emotion. What primary emotions do you think God is feeling when he is angry? There is a reason our sins make God angry, and it is motivated by his love for us."

I had never really thought of that. To humans, anger is secondary to fear. fear rises in us and we respond physiologically by releasing adrenaline and cortisol in the body, which gives us enough strength to either fight or run. Fear is the emotion pushing that.

On God's part I would say that anger is a primary emotion because God has nothing to fear. If God feared anything, it would be losing fellowship with his creations (us). I doubt that he fears that. If anger is secondary for God it would be to Jealousy, though I am not comfortable psychoanalyzing God. So I doubt anger is secondary to God, but rather primary.

Wolf Moon  (E) Response to a prompt about the moon. #2024878 by Lyn's a sly fox

a poem about the moon. How does the moon affect you, or does it?

Some religions such as Wicca, and Paganism, and Judaism follow the moon phases. I don't know one moon phase from another except for the full moon. I do know the full moon seems to have an influence on human behavior. I don't know if it is the gravitational forces or what it is, but human behavior seems eccentric during the full moon. When I was a first responder, we made sure we had the squad fully staffed on the night of the full moon and most of the days before and after because we were sure to have an auto accident or some oddity those nights. It seemed inevitable.
