Perfection is not possible, all the time. [Spirituality & Religion]
Christians are not saying that their personal ideas are true, but that God exists, and [i]His[/i] words are true. Of course, to each their own.
Furthermore, Christianity is unique, because it addresses the fact that we can never be good enough to be in the presence of a perfect, holy God. In order to be perfectly good, we would have to be doing good all the time. Impossible. If we do something wrong, we can't undo it, and we can no longer be considered perfect. Nor can we do more good to make up for our wrongs, for perfection requires doing the most good possible at all times - we can't be more than perfect, to make up for when we're less than perfect. Others teach that we can somehow do enough good to earn heaven or nirvana, but they don't address the fact that we continually make mistakes.
