Quote:
I just want to point out one thing and then I will respond to the rest later. I have to go for the evening. You accuse me of smuggling in a secret definition and not using the plain English definition of the word.
The plain English definition of perfect from Google’s dictionary:
having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.
I agree with this definition.
Your definition:
A perfect being is a complete being. It wants nothing. It needs nothing. It has no desires because to desire something entails missing something that would make it better, and it cannot be better. A perfect being wouldn't need to act because the only reason to act is to accomplish a goal but the perfect being can have no goals. A perfect being is perfectly fulfilled.
I don't agree with this definition.
Now let me ask you, who smuggled in their own definition of the word perfect?
If you just go to the very next line of the Google dictionary definition you reference, it states "absolute, complete." So my point stands. You are in disagreement with the only source you yourself provided for the definition of perfection. That is why I conclude you aren't arguing in good faith.
