My mind often confuses ontological with various words that begin with two 'o's. Like oocyte. Oogenesis.

Is that why there's one vote for 'sound'?

:lol: I haven't voted yet. But I would definitely have voted oogenesis as sound.

The Saint Anselm version?

or just ontological arguments by their nature?

I am reminded of an old George Carlin routine: Can God create a rock so big that even he couldn't lift it?

Any version...the Anselm one is a little easy to pick holes in.

They are all shit.

I can buy "cogito ergo sum", but I can't buy "I think of something, therefore it exists"

You don't have to, if you modify the original argument and postulate that God is the sum of all perfections, and has limitless Greatness, as opposed to Gaunilo's island which isn't a sum of all perfections.

It's a bit too airy for me.

I'm glad most people are good natured about rickrolling at the moment. We'll have to see about that in a month or so...

Here'san interresting article on the Ontological Argument. I think it raises some valid criticism.

Though ultimately I think it's undecidable.

Tim: Yes, one involves a lot of physical and psychological pain, and the other one's war.

I found it rather airy, as well. The whole concept of Love is making an intellectual leap of faith.

Heh, to get an understanding of how my friends and I treat each other, here is the most commonly used quote:

"I hate you, ::insert name here::."

Which is also interchangable with:

"I fucking hate you, ::insert name here::."

Also:

"I fucking hate all of you," is rather common as well.
