Sounds a lot like Prometheus, Zee. ;^)

Witty on a number of levels, Moksha.

Bravo!

I'm sorry.


Was that unkind?


Or mocking?

Well, I didn't want to mock you about it or anything, Ceeb.

Let see if this can proceed with out ad hominem, I am game if you are.

Sub,

Can you point to something that is perfect and then illustrate how it can be different and retain its perfection?

Serious question.

serious question, but irrelevant.
The issue at hand is about the desire for perfection. if yo consider such a desire to be futile then so be it, it suffers only you.
perfectio propter imperfectionem

but the quick, easy, and 'serious' answer to your rather odd question can be found in semiconductor crystals....their perfection is found in, and actually is dependent upon, their irregularities (contaminants).
anything else? or can you describe how being different implies imperfection now?

I do not consider the desire to improve futile. What I have a hard time understanding is the desire to go after a goal (perfection) with out understanding what the rewards are for reaching the goal.

Why would a question about perfection in the context of our discussion be odd?

Okay lets take your crystal example. I know nothing about the use of such crystals. Are you saying given two identical crystals, except for their irregularities, that each crystal will perform exactly the same under all circumstances? Please explain more about these crystals or provide me with a link where I can see this for myself.

I'm mostly over it. Just on occasion something happens that brings things into focus, as did my conversation last night. You've been involved with the post-Mormon community a lot longer than I have; I guess neither one of us has gotten over it entirely.
