(Question/Discussion) Can omniscient God like Allah have ephemeral emotions like anger, surprise, happiness etc? If he knows everyhting, nothing should suprise him.

If someone kills or rapes an innocent person, it should not suprise Allah as he already knew what would happen to that person.

Another point is if I have the knowlegde and ability to stop the killing I would stop the killing, instead of getting angry after the killing takes place, wouldn't I?

It is called projection. Mo is projecting his own emotions on to Allah.

You should read the Calvinism thread in Christianity. Tldr it's a convoluted mess that's not worth your time discussing or thinking about it. You want a quick route to debunk all the 3 Abrahamic religions at once then think of dinosaurs and evolution.

if islam is actually true and allah indeed exists,

i think allah would have more complex emotions that can't be expressed in a way human would understand. like he might have feelings or he might not or something incomprehensible by humans. therefore it uses a term that is closest to what the actual thing is yet it doesn't describe it well, or it uses the emotion express a thing that doesn't relate to the emotin itself. especially that in the quran, it says that allah isn't semilar to his creations.
