Human "exactness" lacks of room for the color grey... Since we all function best at the grey level, where God optimised our effectiveness, the myopia of the black and white existence governed by exactness leads to failure in the real world, distancing us from God...

Judgment in the here and now is dysfuntional as it approaches the the realm of exactness, because "exact" for humans can never be... By your own musing, God is exact... We don't have to be exact to be loved by God... God Is not pleased by our trying to be God; exact...

In fact, evidence abounds that those trying to be God, fail... Trying to be exact is trying to be God... The closer to being God, the more dysfunctional...

Faith is not a scientific endeavor, so exactness of faith diminishes the shortcut to God that faith provides... If we seek God scientifically, we will never succeed... Seeking exactness takes away moments better spent marveling at the wonders of God, provided by faith itself...

Let God be exact, and try relaxing your grip... You're dong fine just being "you"...
