I would ask him (Jesus) what he had against pigs and figs.

Jesus cast a legion of demons out of a possessed person and into pigs who straightway ran over a cliff and died.

Jesus, while walking with the apostles, saw a fig tree with no fruit on it, cursed it so it withered and died.

He exorcised a bunch of demons from some guy and they possessed a herd of pigs and ran the pigs off of a cliff and the pigs all died (bible doesn't say what happened to the demons). It seems like he could have spared the pigs by sending the demons somewhere else. I mean the pigs weren't hurting anybody.

And then there is the story about him killing the fig tree because the fig tree didn't have figs even though figs were not in bloom at that time. Why didn't he just make figs magically appear on the tree if he had a hankering for a fig.

To me this kind of stuff falls short of somebody being "perfect" whatever the heck "perfect" is.
