Brief Candle In The Dark

Of course no one is perfect, not even Richard Dawkins! Why?! Because there is not a universal definition for “being perfect”, since we all like or dislike different aspects of different things. It is that simple! Religious theory is that “perfection means God”, and I am not sure about that either. Speaking of Richard Dawkins, it is hard not to side-step to God, or delusion of him, in any discussion! If God created humans according to his own image and there is so much suffering tolerated by human being, as one has to go to doctors specializing in various parts of bodies, and still suffer the whole life; in addition, getting abused by the system and society when underprivileged, being image of a perfect being would be far from reality. One may ask what perfection, or lack of it, has to do with the subject at hand here. In an interview Richard Dawkins praised colonialism, which is not uncommon for a European raised in a colonized Africa, to hold such views. This may be far distanced from anti-Thatcherism liberal viewpoint Dawkins holds; his progressive views on other subjects cannot be discounted, as no one is perfect anyway. This will be discussed again later.
