God is a being than than which nothing greater can be conceived
The fool says 'there is no God'
It is greater to exist in reality and concept as opposed to concept alone
Therefore the fool is a fool as you cannot except the concept of God without excepting his existence.
2nd part
There is something that exists that we cannot conceive to not exist (the idea that this thing doesn't exist is inconceivable i.e it exists necessarily).
This is greater than something that can be conceived to not exist (the idea that this thing doesn't exist is perfectly viable i.e it exists contingently).
As a result, if God contingently then what you are thinking about is not God.
God is that which cannot be conceived to not exist, God is necessarily.
And so therefore he exists.
Plans
So while I have not been blogging about it I have been doing my reading. I'm currently reading 'A thinkers guide to evil' as-well as 'The brothers karamazov
' I shall write what I think of them as soon as I find time between

Having been doing St Augustines theodicy and realized the massive influence that It has on the lore of the fictional universes greater by games workshop I think it would be fun to analyse the parallels and the influences in what may come to be the nerdiest thing I have ever done (as-well as something that Mr G can appreciate)

Ed, watch your spelling! 'Accept' not 'except', 'necessary' not 'necessarily'. The odd word missing too ("As a result, if God contingently...").
ReplyDeleteMr Georgiou will *totally* appreciate it!
