ST. ANSELM’S ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT
(1) God exists in our understanding. This means that the concept of God resides as an idea in our minds.
(2) God is a possible being, and might exist in reality. He is possible because the concept of God does not bear internal contradictions.

(5) If this were true, then it would be possible for God to be greater then he is (follows from premise #3).
(6) This would mean that God is a being in which a greater is possible.
(7) This is absurd because God, a being in which none greater is possible, is a being in which a greater is possible. Herein lies the contradiction.
(8) Thus it follows that it is false for God to only exist in our understanding.
(9) Hence God exists in reality as well as our understanding.
(10) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM
(1) The Fool asserts that God does not exist.
(2) What is called "God" is "a being than which no greater can be conceived."
(3) The Fool agrees that "a being than which no greater can be conceived" exists in the mind, since he understands the words.
(4) To say that "a being than which no greater can be conceived" does not exist is to say that such a being is only an idea -- it does not exist in the mind and in reality.
(5) But such a being, which exists in the mind alone, is in fact "a being than which a greater can be conceived" since it is greater to exist in both mind and reality than just mind alone.
(6) So, the Fool believes that "a being than which no greater can be conceived" is "a being than which a greater can be conceived" which is impossible.
(7) Therefore, since "a being than which no greater can be conceived" cannot exist in the mind alone (because that is self-contradictory) such a being must exist in both mind and reality.
(8) Therefore, God exists.

(2) Without faith, God is nothing.
(3) Faith exists.

ARGUMENT FROM TERMINOLOGY
(1) There are hundreds of proofs of god's existence.
(2) When you call something a 'proof', that means you have shown the result to be true.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM GILDA RADNER
(1) What's all this fuss I hear about whether God exits?
(2) Well of course he does!
(3) If I'm going to go somewhere else, I have to exit this room.
(4) And God's been everywhere, so he must have done a lot of exiting.
(5) Therefore, God exits.
(6) Oh.  That's different.  Never mind.

>(1) You can't get more in the effect than you had in the cause.

wouldn't this mean that the lottery doesn't work or exist?

Whoever the asshole is posting all the arguments, he's trying way too fucking hard.

None of them make any sense from a logical stand point.

You're not all wrong in those assumptions. The facts of science stand that everything has an origin and everything grows form that origin. But what sustains that origin to me is the nature of God. And by observing this nature we observe God. Whether we came from monkey's or not is moot. We have an origin, we stem from that origin and build our own lives based on those origins. Monkey's have sex so we have sex, fish can be eat and/or be eaten, the same goes for humans. When we seperate ourselves from our natural states we divide ourselves from ourselves and this is the nature of true evil. "...Pitting brother against brother until man exists no more." -Book of Revelations; revelations means to be revealed as though something already existing is yet as unseen. This is the simple nature of all creation. To observe ourselves and to observe our surroundings. We've come this far, but how much further can we go? I believe the greater we get the greater the resistance to that change becomes. It's the same with Golf. The better you get at it, the harder it is to maintain. The same goes with all forms of resistance; the faster and harder you go, the greater resistance. And as for >>38, the lottery takes 1 dollar from millions and distributes it back to a few individuals, while also getting greater taxes hence the reason it's a state or nationally run program.
