No, because we are all infallible! Haha. It's the veil that causes us to believe that we can make mistakes, or that accidents can happen etc.
And Jesus said that we should be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect. Well, excuse me Jesus, but we are already perfect. Or more seriously, what Jesus meant I think is that we should realize that we already are perfect. Very difficult thing to do in today's messy world.
I would be a bad Catholic. My Path started in Pentecostalism, and then I rebelled and discovered ISKCON. There is too much radicalism in me to believe anything. Okay, I do believe in Zen, except I reach my own conclusions. Is that not the point of Zen? There is nothing I enjoy more than a good Philosophical argument, and disproving something. There are those that say, that Jesus was the reincarnation of Krishna and there, (somewhere), is evidence, (supposedly), in India. I also follow the theory that the "God(s)" are Alien Beings. In some schools of thought, there are those that say that the Vedas were Alien inspired.
Who are we to argue. Pay homage to the Alien God(s)
