Perfection will take forever.

Maybe god designed a world of conflict. Didn’t want everything to go smoothly. For the sake of enlivening life. So we humans wouldn’t be bored. Or maybe it was more a case of god wanting to see if stupid people can still make a go of it. By improvising. By seeking order. Even in difficult times. Could be that god himself started out as a mistake-prone idiot. In need of finding his way. And lo and behold, he did just that. Picked himself up by the bootstraps and became an all-knowing god. And now he wants his creatures to do pretty much the same. Achieve perfection. But no doubt, it’ll take forever. –Jim Broede
