Great, you got right to the nub of it.
The premise: "God either has feelings or God does not. If He does not, then why are we talking about him?"
Feelings as in happy, sad, angry, etc. imply as you say:
"His Nature would then be dependent upon the status and nature of other.
And so your criticisms of modern religion, that positions God as some sort of anthropomorphic santi claus sitting on a cloud are justified.
Some of the believers on this thread have voiced their rejection of this "positioning" while maintaining statements of belief. I am thinking of Poet, neocon, myself and probably others. So, to further any discussion we should move past this position to one that considers a God who is truly Omnipotent, non-dependant, non-anthropomorphic, beyond materialistic descriptors, eternal, and infinite.
"If He does not, then why are we talking about him?"
