Why can't you just answer my question? I'm not asking for much here.

Are you conceding that the Ontological argument isn't an argument for a personal cause? Well, okay then. I don't see how that's a victory for Christian theism at all.

Also if you can't get anyone to believe your conceptual analysis of maximal greatness is correct then I don't see how you and others think this argument is to work. In this case an "omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect" cause creating a world like this one is insulting to intelligence of atheist and theist alike.

Because you're asking a loaded question that presupposes semantic trickery.

I don't think real progress can be made with a mind so closed.

Why are you even having this discussion if you've already made up your mind? Intellectual dishonesty doesn't make me MORE interested in having this discussion.

Fix that and get back to me.
