It's just a blatant attempt to leave no room for someone else to come along with a "bigger God".I have to disagree. I find the ontological argument, and the idea of perfection in general, quite intriguing... I don't know that I'd consider it an argument for "God" per se (the definition of god tends to include quite a few more things than simply perfection or maximal greatness or whatever), but as far as such arguments go, I think it may be the best.
