False.

Perfection is always perfect. Therefore if you believe that God was at one time perfect, than he cannot ever not be perfect.

As cool as TMNT is, it's not perfect.

Liking something and believing it to be perfect are different things. Nowhere in any of my statements did I imply that liking him implied you believed he is/was perfect, simply because that idea is silly. You can like something and believe it is far from perfect, you can also like things for different reasons. One could believe that The Bible is a great work of fiction produced by God and thus like God as a writer.

That doesn't make sense to "like" God's works. If you believe in the concept of a God at all, that means you are attributing perfection to him. That's the definition. You can like the Bible by all means. But if you believe God wrote it (or if it was divinely inspired) then I can't see how you can justify his existence but not his perfection.

No? Even if I did believe he was real I'd still look at the bible and see how much of a scum bag he is. A lot of his actions (in the bible) range from morbid to childish. I would not call this behavior perfect.

The concept of God is perfect. God has to be perfect or else he's not God.

Too bad the concept of absolute perfection directly contradicts itself anyway.
