Ontological Argument for the Existance of God

Name: Anonymous 2006-11-20 4:28

1. God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived.
2. It is greater to be necessary than not.
3. God must be necessary.
4. God exists

Logically speaking, God MUST exist. But what God actually IS, no one really knows. He can be energy, mass, or some sort of spiritual being. All of these three fulfill the description: cannot be created nor destroyed.

>>75
The assumption is that this god is end of the endless loop you talk about.

>>Your claim that "we all agree that real things are greater than imaginary things" is not only baseless, but wrong. Many people would NOT agree, and since it's objective, you can't say they're wrong.
All objects in reality exist independently, all objects in the understanding are dependent on the person who makes thought of them.

I have a computer in reality, because when I'm no longer home, when I no longer think about the existance of my computer, it will continue to exist regardless. Now if I had a computer in my dreams, it will feel real and at the moment I might think it real, but when I wake up, that computer will not exist anymore because it only existed in my understanding, and well... I stopped dreaming about it. That's more or less the argument when it comes to reality > understanding.

If anything you sound like a pretentious bastard. "Oh look at me, every Philosophy major was a little crybaby except me! I aced that class without even studying or trying hard, I'm so much better than those assholes. The only reason why I didn't get 110% is because I CHOSE not to answer one dumb question, that's how bad ass I am." <- That's exactly how you sound. You don't make yourself look any better than >>71.

Honestly, I don't you think you are what you claim to be, but I'll leave it at that, as this whole thread actually doesn't interest me, just wanted to point those things out.
