Another Christian contradiction, perhaps?

I'm pretty intrigued by this whole "let's try to poke holes in the Christian faith" fad, so I've tried one out myself! Here's my line of thought:
  • The Christian religion teaches that God is "perfect."
  • Perfection implies wholeness, thoroughness, completeness...
  • If God is perfect, he needs no ends because he is perfect, complete.
  • To say that he created us out of love, or boredom, etc., would deny his perfection because we would be means to those ends, which he didn't need in the first place.
  • Ergo, if God created us, there's two possibilities: 1) he's not perfect, 2) Christianity has yet another swiss cheese hole.
Discuss.

EDIT// There are also obvious imperfections in his creations, i.e., random deformations, stillborns, cancer, etc.. I'm not sure about this point, but it seems to have relevance at the moment.

God, I hate retards like you that think you are trying to outwit something that's been around for longer than 2000 years.

If you yourself don't know the answer to the question you asked, silly ol' man; then you're an idiot.


There are better questions out there that can make a Christian doubt his faith, but this one; definitely not one of them.
