Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.Biblical passages such as this one describe a god who wrestles with controlling his desires. In this case, he desires to be known and worshiped. When this desire is thwarted, he becomes angry and so he desires revenge.
~ King James version ~
Something mysteriously formed,
Born before heaven and Earth.
~ from Verse 25 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Tao is desireless. Tao is beyond the concepts of known and unknown. You can worship Tao or not. It doesn't matter. Tao continues to nurture the world.
