Ontological argument 1

Never doubted the existence of god

"God is a being than which nothing can be conseived"

Even an atheist must aknowledge this

Something that exists in reality greater than in the mind alone

It is a greater thing to exist than to not exist

You can think of winning the lotto- is it not better for it to happen than simply in the mind alone?

The perfect lost island, better than any other, he could think of it

Would be better if it was real- then it must exist

Just becauce you can consieve something- does not mean it exists

Fatcs are needed- if the argument can prove the existence of a pretend island, it is flawed
