Any claaims made in the Bible regarding god being perfect are necessarily based on a Biblical understanding of perfection. Atheists, however, substitute their own definition of perfection. This is equivocation and/or a straw man.
What do you mean? There is no sliding scale of perfection. Either something is perfect, or it is not.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
