Transcendent?

agno-atheist:

If I asked you whether God has a nose or a penis, what would you say? Most Christians would say probably not. A nose is for breathing and smelling. A penis is for sex and for peeing. God has no need of either. In the same way, I would argue that God has no need for emotions—intricate chemical reactions designed to activate and direct bodily responses to the external environment. As wonderful as emotions are, they are made of and for the fabric of this natural world.

— Dr. Valerie Tarico (2009. The End of Christianity, ch. 6)

Never mind that he was pleased by the aroma of sacrifice (read here).  Seems he was given a nose.
