I disagree with the first couple of people in your thread because I believe God is perfect. He created us in perfection and gave us free will. In turn we fell into imperfection. We chose it!! IT is OUR fault.
Eric for instance stated that you should respect imperfect gods for the same reason you respect your parents. (However, there is a point where parents are no longer worthy of respect) I think people worship imperfect gods because they cannot relate with
a perfect one. Is it not easier for the human mind to worship imperfection since it is visible here on earth? Just as it is is easier to fathom the idea of splitting up a god into multiple deities. In addition, there is no way that the human mind could ever comprehend the perfection of god. That is why we strive for perfection in our imperfect state. Heaven is perfection. If by the end of your life you figure this and other essentials out you have neared human perfection, to an extent.
The devil leads us astray from perfection through deceit. He's visible in so many places here on earth. If you just look around you can feel it. Every time your tempted to do something wrong and go through with it you've given into the devil. And if you continue on this path of ignorance to perfection it leads you to hell, the most complete form of imperfection. And the evidence of this is the completeness that we feel in the moments of human perfection that we experience here on earth.
It's all a state of mind....
