The very spirit of competition would be an oxymoron, and we wouldn't be so much "living life" as we would be walking around like a bunch of perfectly-designed robots, beep-booping our way through the day for no real reason other than self-preservation.

And about what your father said, he can just piss off. Your life is yours alone, and he has no right to say whether or not it has meaning; that meaning is something only you can determine.

:lol: How is that perfect? If you're just acting like a robot, not doing anything fun or enjoyable, not challenging yourself, how is this right? There can still be competition in a perfect world, since everyone is born differently, and everyone has different aspects. You can fail at something, try to become better, and then succeed without making a mistake. Anyway, I just hate it when people think that 'perfect' is bad, or mistakes are what make life interesting; since being perfect doesn't mean ultimate knowledge; and without ultimate knowledge, life can be a surprise.

Also, fathers are (most likely) wiser then us, so whatever he says your meaning is you should take as advice. It may not be the best advice, but advice nonetheless.

Perfection is impossible to truly achieve as it would require being without fault or failure no matter what your adversity. You can't be perfect at sex yet perfectly innocent at the same time and these are hard enough to obtain by themselves. (figured that example would fit here)
What is a goal but an attempt to gain a purpose? We don't really want the goals and advancements for themselves, we want them because it gives us a reason to act.

Depends on what you think is perfect. Perfect humans would have no fault in them; and if having ultimate success in everything is causing a fault in the human perfection, then the human is not perfect.

Perfection = Imperfection yet Imperfection =/= Perfection, true perfection is illogical and probably impossible and/or inconceivable to humans. You can have partial perfection which is to become perfect in one aspect but that is also near impossible though not technically impossible. You could also have perceptive perfection which would be someone's opinion of what is perfect. A girl being so desirable to a man that he literally cannot find a flaw in/about her.

Agh! I hate coming into topics late and responding to conversations that are up more than 3 posts!

Perfection is having no fault. This is impossible as there's no objective analysis for "faults" as far as I know.

I blow Zeus premise out of the water. Now with 100% more truth tables!
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Perfection is having no fault. This is impossible as there's no objective analysis for "faults" as far as I know.

Perfection is a state of true or false.
if something is perfect then it is true that something is perfect.
If something is not perfect then we don't know squat since something can be perfect.

The truth table for a if statement is

# S U N
1 T T T
2 T F F
3 F T T
4 F T F

I forget what S stands for but basically it's what's required for N "If it's windy, then i'll fly my kite.
U doesn't stand for a word but it looks like the symbol we would use for a if statement, and if flipped on it's side it makes the word S.U.N.
N stands for necessary

If you had a system to detect perfection and put that in for S, then put perfection in for N.
If you check under U, if you have a system to detect perfection, then only if perfection exist can this statement be true.


Random logic bull shit that makes sense sorta... It makes sense but it's long than it needs to be.
You say only the devil may exist because there is sin in the world.
I say only god can exist because there is good in the world.
We both can't be right but both can be wrong.
that sums up what i said.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Take this example.
You believe in the big bang (shut up, i don't care if you do or don't; as of now you do!) and i believe in god.
Both of us have different proofs why the other is wrong and we both think are way is right.
so if i was to as you if the big bang was true, you answer true.
I ask myself if god is true, i say it is.
Both are said to be true but it doesn't mean either is true. The one that is true is the one that is true and not any that are thought to be true.

2+2 =4 but i believe 2+2 = 5. Both can't be right .
While it's might be impossible for something to be perfect, just because there is no objective way of analyzing it doesn't mean something that is perfect can't exist. It just means we can't prove that something that isn't perfect, does exist.

For instants, what is the perfect answer for "2+2 =?"


I personally believe in God (not that i practice my faith. I'm on a porn site, does it sound like i practice my faith enough?) but i don't use him as a reason to live. I am living because I am. I decided I was going to live thus i will (until i get hit by a falling holy symbol and make a ironic joke with my death.)

Anyone who disagrees and live because they believe in a god; great, you have more of a right to believe in him than me.
I however, believe the afterlife accepts those ready for it. Basically the after life isn't for those who say they're sorry; but, those who have a different mind set.

For instants, if you give the homeless a brand new house so you go to heaven, then your thinking of yourself and wont be accepted for giving the homeless a home; if you just decided out of the blue to do, than you're not thinking of your self and you are more likely. I say less likely and more likely but i don't mean to say you have to do enough good acts to get in haven but just that given my lack of information, this is what i believe will give you a high chance.

What does my faith have to do with logic? Nothing at all. What does it have to do with this thread? well people keep saying to take the best parts of some faiths and here my take on that.

also some weird facts,
I think every one knows by now that Jesus is a Jew! would you please stop it unless there is some hidden meaning that i'm not getting.
The noun "Christians" comes from the noun Christ.
The Jews(thus Christians) were ordered more than once to commit Genocide (Samuel 1 or 2 has a good example. Sal should be king and sorry if i misspelled his name.)

When one door stops another one opens up. I will walk through that door and see where it brings me. That door may all lead to another door and that same may close but that's life and I'd rather be something then nothing.
You're perfectly flawed, you're perfectly incomplete; like cracks in the glass and faded photographs. Let them condemn, imperfections is what keeps you unique.

I think almost every life could be changed to a state where its worth living. I mean, our lives often suck in a lot of ways. There are a ton of ways in which people waste their lives and hate themselves for it. But I always think that no matter how much my life sucks, I could always change it to something I've never tried before, literally vanishing from my previous life.

Expect the worst, but hope for the best. There's much to life, that is if you can handle the lemons Life obviously is dumping on you by the crate. Well, Life's a bitch, ain't she?
