Perfection is relative. As God's children, we are already perfect. Our "imperfections" are part of our perfection. No such thing as sins. We have free will so that we can learn from our experiences what it means to be one with God. Following words from religions will not guarantee that you will truly learn, experience is the only way.

In the name of God, let's have another religious war. We can slaughter people, including babies at the next passover. Let's practice all the horrid events depicted in the Bible in the name of God so we can feel smug and closer to God.
