I was just talking to my friend Ben, and the term "perfectly flawed" came up. Immediately, the red flag in my brain popped up, indicating that some massive bullshit was close-at-hand. I mean, think about it. Even the phrase makes no sense. Perfect = Ideal. Flaw = Defect. A perfect flaw? More like a perfect oxymoron.
Ben mentioned some sort of idea/theory about humans being perfectly flawed. Now... I've never looked into any such theory, and quite frankly I wasn't even aware that there even was one -- but all of a sudden, I was curious. So I looked around for some written theory, and could find nothing. I did however, find this shit. Which of course pissed me off.
This chick thinks that her flaws are what makes her like everyone else. Every rapist, murderer, robber, and general scum bag on this earth -- is the same as her. "Because in the Lord's eyes, we're all sinners." Okay! So basically, this "savior" of hers, looks at her as a piece of shit. And she's completely happy content with continuing to worship he who does not, and has never existed. Why? Because the perfection in her flaws, is that her savior is going to offer her forgiveness. But only if she lives a certain way, and does certain things, and certainly only if she continues to worship 'the Lord'. Because "No one will ever be flawless. Except he who can redeem us all." What a load of shit. Forgiveness isn't conditional. There's no such thing as "Okay, I forgive you, but only if you ___". NO. No such thing. I'm sorry, but your non-existent savior is a manipulative prick. Definitely not perfect in any sense of the word.
But, I'm getting away from my point. Perfectly flawed is bullshit. Especially when looked at from this dipshit's point of view. But let me get away from this Jesus-Freak's interpretation, and focus on the literal aspect. I took these definitions from dictionary.com.
Flawed
-adjective
1. a feature that mars the perfection of something; defect; fault
Defect
-noun
1. a shortcoming or imperfection
Perfect
-adjective
1. conforming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type
Ideal
-noun
1. a conception of something in its perfection.
-adjective
9. existing only in the imagination; not real or actual: Nature is real; beauty is ideal.
I shouldn't have to explain this. Perfection and flaw are opposites. They cancel each other out. And adding in the thought that perfection (as well as religion, imo) is imaginary... Well, it makes the phrase moot.

Notes:
-I have no idea why I felt the need to dissect this as far as I did.
-I'm glad to have found a new blog location that doesn't suck, and which doesn't have the negative connotation of LiveJournal.
-I feel like this... tyrade of mine has no general point, other than to bitch about the stupidity of others. -shrug- So be it.
