A theory of perfection and religion

This has been nag­ging in my head for a while now and I feel it is at some sort of stage to put to elec­tro­nic paper and dis­cuss with other peo­ple. This theory all lies behind a sim­ple sta­te­ment that I thought up while being my ever ego­tis­ti­cal self;

“I am per­fect yet everything else is imperfect”

In exa­mi­ning this, I was won­de­ring how in fact anyone could prove this per­son wrong. It would seem impos­si­ble for imper­fec­tion to argue with said per­son. As they may in fact be imper­fect, all of their rea­so­ning and thought pro­ces­ses may be fla­wed, and hence can­not be trus­ted. Thus nothing they say can be com­ple­tely relied upon. Secon­ding this, ‘everything else,’ with the excep­tion of this “self being” is imper­fect; sug­ges­ting that secon­dary things may dis­tort per­cep­tions, hence per­cep­tions can­not be fully relied on either. This makes the sta­te­ment nigh infallible. 

A ques­tion was then brought to my atten­tion, what hap­pens if someone else also says “I am per­fect, yadda yadda… “. This pre­sents a sort of para­llax. It means the sta­te­ment is either right or it is wrong, and there is no way to prove either way. If it were wrong, no one would be per­fect, end of dis­cus­sion. Howe­ver, if it is correct, for which there is a fifty-fifty chance, it would have some impli­ca­tions. For it to be correct there can be no dif­fe­ren­ces bet­ween the “self being” of the two peo­ple. As if there is a dif­fe­rence, one will obviously have an advan­tage over the other, hence ren­de­ring one of them imper­fect.
In dra­wing conc­lu­sions from this and the fact that any per­son could say this (or at least think it), ever­yone would in fact be equal and per­fect in every­way. Dra­wing this further and con­si­de­ring a hypothe­ti­cal posi­tion in time and space, so as not to hold advan­ta­ges or disad­van­ta­ges, ever­yone must be part of ONE thing and not just repli­cas of a per­fect thing.

This pre­sents an image of one ove­rall cons­cious­ness that is per­fect. You could call this God.

Loo­king at scrip­tu­res and what Chris­tia­nity has to say about God it sta­tes;
- God made us in his own image
- God is everywhere and ‘within us all’
This rein­for­ces the conc­lu­sions made so far. If we are all part of a grea­ter per­fec­tion, that per­fec­tion being God, then he is within us all and our image per­tains to God as we are actually part of God.

The Soul
The soul is seen as the life source for humans, when we die our soul lea­ves our body. Or so is said by reli­gious folk. This is the image of a soul, it is a life force, it is what we are. 

The idea of having a soul can be bac­ked up by the ini­tial argu­ment, “I am per­fect yet everything else is imper­fect”. Our soul is the per­fect entity, the “self being” and our bodies (or uni­verse even) being the imper­fect ves­sels. This also pro­vi­des ans­wers as to why we do not view per­fec­tion and assume imper­fec­tion; we see imper­fec­tion because imper­fec­tion is dis­tor­ting everything we per­cept.
Jesus
Chris­tia­nity, which belie­ves Jesus is the true Son of God, also belie­ves that Jesus was PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. Jesus being, of course, God. In sug­ges­ting that one per­son is per­fect it sug­gests that this logi­cal pro­cess is also per­fect and that the ini­tial sta­te­ment holds true.

Ove­rall, this is one big vicious cycle that never actually pro­ves anything (conc­lu­ding that it is 50:50 whether God exists or not, yes or no). But it does hold fairly strong simi­la­ri­ties with Chris­tian beliefs which can in turn pro­vide con­fi­dence in some sort of higher, all Seeing Eye.
