I’ve always ponder quitely to myself What is perfection? I mean everyone seems to talk about it everywhere, but I’ve never been able to pin it down. Really the theory of relitivity says that perfection doesn’t exisits if it has no reference. So, if we have no reference then how can we say this and that is perfect?
So I ask what do think perfection is? Is God perfect or imperfect or both?
How does the theory of relitivity say that perfection doesn’t exist. I’ve been thinking that for a while but I never had any real reasoning behind it just a whole lot of examples.
I believe that perfection is impossible and unattainable. It’s a figment of human imagination that we can possibly purge ourselves of all that makes us imperfect.
My view correlates with Nevir’s.
Answering the original question, God or any religious object is always perfect, given that it does overlap with any external form of perfection. Even if it preaches itself as the Absolute, the only, it retains its perfection by respecting the right to pursue alternative perfection.
The concept of ‘perfection’ can legitimately be seen as a strictly religious body of thought, as it can guide every person towards their own religious object, that being life itself.
I recommend Don Cupitt’s ‘new religion of life in everyday speech’. Here are two of the forums currently discussing ‘perfection:an extension of socialism’:

yeah, I read stuff from some anglican bisops. One Alan Watts, actually gave up his place in the church to pursue eastern philosohpy. The other John Shelby Spong, I’ve read a little talks about Christian Fundamentalism, and how a theistic view on God is slowly losing it’s call.
I think that there is an infinite, something or other that can’t quite be explained in our common venacular languages. We have a voice, whether we ever use it or not is our chose.
Choice+Chance = Future. I hate math, but I can’t really get my point across without some Logic,
