Just imagine I open a thread "A proof there's no God". ME: There's no God. DKTRAV: What's your proof? ME: I try to ignore stupid questions. Victory and glory!

Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: Jeremiah 32:17 If god has an arm, does he also have a dick and a hole?
If nothing is hard for god, why can he not produce a pure bred son and has to settle for a half breed chimera, after coveting Mary, cuckolding Joseph, and then becoming a deadbeat dad by dropping his half breed off and never returning to do his fatherly duty?
You respect such a deadbeat dad do you?

The lotus has been a symbol of purity since before the time of the Buddha, and it blooms profusely in Buddhist art and literature. Its roots are in muddy water, but the lotus flower rises above the mud to bloom clean and fragrant.
In Buddhist art, a fully blooming lotus flower signifies enlightenment, while a closed bud represents a time before enlightenment. Sometimes a flower is partly open, with its center hidden, indicating that enlightenment is beyond ordinary sight.
The mud nourishing the roots represents our messy human lives. It is in the midst of our human experiences and our suffering that we seek to break free and bloom. But while the flower rises above the mud, the roots and stem remain in the mud, where we live our lives. A Zen verse says, "May we exist in muddy water with purity, like a lotus."
Rising above the mud to bloom requires great faith in oneself, in the practice, and in the Buddha's teaching. So, along with purity and enlightenment, a lotus also represents faith.

Many of the gods and goddesses of Hinduism are linked to the flower, for example the goddess of prosperity, Laxmi, is usually depicted as being seated atop a fully opened lotus flower. Likewise Brahma, the God of creation, is depicted as emerging from a Lotus that crawls from the Naval of the sustainer Lord Vishnu. As a lotus is able to emerge from Muddy Waters un-spoilt and pure it is considered to represent a wise and spiritually enlightened quality in a person; it is representative of somebody who carries out their tasks with little concern for any reward, and with a full liberation from attachment. It is very interesting how the open flower and the unopened Lotus bud forms are associated with human traits. The unopened bud is representative of a folded soul that has the ability to unfold and open itself up to the divine truth.

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James:1:4 If a perfect entity wants nothing, why is your god so demanding about things he wants? I doubt that you even know what you are posting. Regards DL

Nothing on Yahweh's demand.
Hypocrisy abounds in you.
That is the way with Satanists.
