Is Emotions a Determining Factor in Your Interpretation of Scripture?

Do you believe our emotions can and should be brought into our interpretation of scripture? Do you think the disconnection of emotions from exegesis could be part of what has allowed ECT to dominate the theological landscape for 1500 years? This is an interesting question that I remember wrestling with early on in my journey toward the annihilation view. Oftentimes it's typically people who advocate for eternal conscious torment who are the ones banging the drum on don't let your emotions affect your exegesis. It's not the ECT advocates are holding their position emotional emotion lessly.
