Perfection, Perfect Being?

RE: Perfection, Perfect Being?

You're not really off topic, Q.. really what I'm trying to debate is can humans even imagine a perfect being (Ie: God) if there are so many imperfections with ourselves?

See my previous post, the one that says God isn't perfect.

More stuff: Roman and Greek gods, as well as many other polytheistic gods were imperfect. Why should mine be any different? Has he not screwed up before? There is a series of books that relate to this...written by Orson Scott Card. The Homecoming series. Good stuff. The "god" turns out to be a computer and thereby can't feel emotion, but can predict it. It acts on predictions and what not, but never knows the true effects. Quite interesting, if you ask me.

On a simple note, it is impossible to define a perfect height, perfect hair color, perfect eyes, etc., so a perfect human is impossible.

Thats parially true, but we have traits such as blond(e) hair and blue eyes, which are not as common in our society as brown hair or brown eyes, therefore, genetically, these traits are rarer, therefore it is quite possible that it is nature's way of telling us that these traits are more perfect then others, for perfection is such a rarity.

I'm not saying that people should go out and start discriminating people because they have or don't have blond(e) hair or blue eyes, but I'm just speculating on the reason why these traits are rarer than others. For the record, just because Hitler favoured blond(e) hair, blue eyes, doesn't mean that other people who share his view (Note: I'm not saying that I do, again, I repeat that I was just speculating on why blond(e) hair and blue eyes are not as common) are some sort of neo-nazi activists.
