Anthropopathism

Anthropopathism is the attribution of human emotions, or the ascription of human feelings or passions to a non-human being, generally to a deity.
By comparison, the term anthropomorphism originally referred to the attribution of human form to a non-human being, but in modern usage anthropomorphism has come to encompass both meanings.

Religion

This is a technique prevalent in religious writings, where, for instance, human emotion is attributed to God, where he would not normally experience emotion in this sense. Anthropopathism existed in the ancient [Semitic religion] and early Islam. This technique is also used in the book of Genesis, as an example of the theme of God as a personal god.
