The world's ten most productive cities. Three in Europe, two in California, four in the northeast. None in a red state.
How would you answer that? For one to be an egotist there has to be some level of self absorbtion that doesn't quite justify the persona the person puts outs there. Is it egotistical for perfect being to say He is perfect? We know that people aren't perfect so it's definitely egotistical for one of us to claim perfection.
How sad, that your Deity would rather have hypocrites following him rather than truly good people. Walking the walk is much more important than talking the talk, and the Christ that I follow does not think highly of hypocrites. I have had this discussion with others that profess their Christianity, and I am usually disappointed. Amazingly enough, the few that hold my perspective are usually Catholic, you know, the ones that can party all they want and then ask for absolution? It seems that they tend to read Christs words more than do others that profess Christianity. Me, I no longer want to be affiliated with Christians, kinda like the old republican party that doesn't exist anymore, I will call myself a follower of Christ, and let all the hate that Paul instills dissipate.
I agree that no humans are "perfect." But that is the nature of the human condition.
If God will reward those that believe in it, and punish eternally those that do not, I would say that God demands "attention." Otherwise, why would such an entity set up this religious model. The religous model that you set forth is why many millions of people reject fundamentalist religions. Thousands of thinkers have written about the irrationality, venality and cruelty of this worldview.

For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. - Patrick Henry
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Allen West has identified about 80 House Democrats that are card=carrying Communists. No word on how many bits of calculating capacity West's brain can contain at one time.

Don't worry, Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy can find the commies.
Republican Congressman from MO:

After listening to this extremist from Missouri and to West, I finally understand that it is just not the rank and file Republican that sometimes sound delusional and unhinged. The rank and file republican congressperson also sound delusional and unhinged.
With this distasteful epidemic of communism contaminating such a large percentage of our Democratic representatives, one would think Allen West would be able to provide us with some measure of details on these card carrying communist? Perhaps, the names he has identified on their membership cards, descriptions and location of their communists deeds, and then for a display of good form, perhaps provide us with his (West) definition of a true communist?
