In which context are you using the label "Perfection" anyway? The term can be used to designate a variety of concepts and has several meanings. Do you mean perfect as in everything going according to my master plan if I am role playing God? That I made a creation that attained its purpose? Please clarify.
Perfection is tautology. Pretty much bloody boring.
So here's something touching, if also a little boring. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwhorLf3QjQ And now for something completely different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=944cPciN-kw Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

If i was GOD!
I would let the amusing Inquisitive Apes envolve with minimum intervention. Patriarcalism would be gone 1000 yrs ago, I would be a clingy deity deity, showing up all the time and constantly talking. I would take the form and voice of Stephen Fry on apparitions.

Perfection is stagnation. There is nowhere to go from perfection. Endless boredom, as Miss Aerzia might say, as even boredom would be perfect. Were I to have godlike powers, I would not want to make a creation which was "perfect," it would be stuck in a endless rut, just like the perfect deity is now. I would want them to strive and achieve and learn and grow endlessly (hey, that's what science tries to do; the only perfection is there is always a perfectly endless supply of things to learn). Moreover, if I were a "perfect" godlike deity, I would probably use my powers to make myself imperfect. I don't want to stagnate either.

I think the things that tempt, evil(selfishness) will be gone. Other than that i think if it was completely perfect and thus boring from our viewpoint, we wouldn't know it and it might be awesome.

Yours are more specific as to be strict guidelines and means of control. While "love your neighbor as yourself" is more general and more suited for the people as a proof of what they desire. I would follow all of the commandments you stated(the stated 3) because they fall under the one but because that is love not your control. Or if i want to get my cotton picked and i did not want to go to the fields and do it myself or hire white men and pay them a day's wage, I guess i might harbor a control over the different population of colored people so i can make a profit. "But we dont need commandments, we need knowledge." Like commandments aren't knowledge. (August 13, 2011 at 2:19 am)Aerzia Saerules Arktuos Wrote: 1: Let's stick with me creating humans for now.

Flawless. The rules you set are to fix or alleviate some sort of flaw from either the creation or what the creation is given. That your post would simply be, " It would be perfect." But you could say the plan idea is what you would consider perfect. But only you would know it and perfection would be what you say it is based on what you gave us.
