As I suspected, you admit that you are neither evil not perfectly good, as most, but what keeps you from improving from say, your current 65 to the 99? Honestly, how difficult would it be for you? What would you have to do? What major changes would you have to make in your life?
I have a bad habit of lashing out at my husband or other family members for things that are not their fault. I can be terribly impatient in most situations. Sometimes I get caught up in materialistic things and I buy the expensive clothes/etc rather than giving more to charity, for example.
Those are probably the main things I could improve on. :-)
May I ask what you would rank yourself? And what you think you need to improve on?

Such as the one where he admits Genocide is A-ok with him. For god...
I highly doubt Randy believes genocide is ok. It's against Church teaching to kill anyone unless it's for self defense or in a just war (strict conditions apply), so I really don't think he'd be for it.
Perhaps what he meant was not very well understood?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
