"People often say 'No one is perfect, only God is perfect'. Yet the Bible overflows with astounding instances, wherein God was often portrayed as someone who is either sad, angry, jealous or disappointed, and has acted on His emotions by war, deluge, or plague. How is this different from human nature? Added to that, there is no universal definition of perfection. Perfection by nature is subjective, because of our differences of perception. And in God's own eyes, He might not even be perfect. I think we are doing God an injustice, in that we readily judge and assume Him as perfect, without even understanding what that word really means, and at times, without even taking the time to know God Himself."

- SQ <I don't know why this entered my head, but I still maintain God is the only perfect being, for the very simple reason that, in as much as that cannot be proved, it cannot also be disproved>
