I'm sure you're right flashy. I put the link on for a bit of fun. Dave Allen is one of my comedy heroes. Many of our younger forum peeps may not have seen his stuff.

Dave Allen was class. 8)

Years ahead of his time too. One of the few comedians from that time whose stuff is still funny today. :lol: :barscarf: 8)

God loves a violent, egomaniacal, racist, mysogynist, bully.

Reminds him of himself in his younger days.

When it comes to superstitions and strange experiences, there is usually a rational explanation :)

There's been a number of attempts at these ontological proofs over the years, but, in philosophical jargon, they're bollocks.

They do create some problems for atheists because the lines of reasoning are difficult to get your head round, but they basically rely on accepting all of his 'take these statements as true' axioms, e.g.multiple/infinite universes in which all possible things exist. There's no justification offered for believing the first part and the second part isn't logical. An infinite universe could exist but there could still be possible things that don't exist in it.

Additionally, the idea is that we can conceive of a God who is completely positive and that real things are better than conceived things so God must exist.

The theorem is valid IF you accept the hypotheses, but that's a pretty big ask. Most people would doubt the statement that because we can conceive of things they must exist.

Using his argument you could argue that we can conceive of women more beautiful than any woman ever seen, who is purely positive, so she must exist and be better than we can conceive. However, you'll probably still wake up with the missus tomorrow morning, not your perceived goddess.

If you can't afford drugs, read through some arguments for and against his 'theorum'. Your mind will end up well and truly scrambled.

If this beautiful woman, who is more beautiful than any woman ever seen exists, I would be happy to conceive with her. :barscarf:
Hey, If you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world, tell her, I love her.
