Would being morally perfect require you to remove the ability of others to be morally imperfect.
Re: Biblical fundamentalism, modern biblical theologians don't view the bible as a literal text. They don't think Moses lived to be 900 or there was a flood that wiped out humanity, or even that the accounts of the Gospel are without 'flavor' based on the motivations of the authors and the times they lived in.

That's certainly one way to look at it. But then you'd have to create robots to get that result. It's an interesting debate over whether or not our free will is a flaw or a gift.
