The Ontological Argument - valid or debunked?

[Angrboda]

On my weaker days there are two things that trouble me about Perfect Being Theology, however.  The first is the problem of deciding just what it is that counts as a great-making property.  The second is the fear that we may at times be overly anthropomorphosizing God.  But the first is the more thorny one for me so I’ll speak breifly of it.  What property or attribute is fit for a perfect being?  I mentioned above Omnipotence, Perfect Goodness, and Omniscience.  These are relatively uncontroversial examples.  But if I were to ask this question to virtually any theologian in the high middle ages, he would also include Simplicity, Eternity, Immutability, and Aseity.  And each of these to the number is generally rejected by the majority of contemporary philosophical theologians (at least those in the analytic tradition).  What gives?  This illustrates my problem.  Frequently, philosophers of religion speak as if our intuitions are reliable guides to discerning which attributes make a being perfect.  Daniel Hill in his Divinity and Maximal Greatness makes this case.  He surmises for instance that our intuitions seem to tell us that it is greater to be a concrete particular than an abstract object.  Well I suppose that concrete particulars might very well be greater than abstract universals; but would an early Church Father reared in a Platonist tradition share that intuition?  I dare say that he might think that it’s the contrary that is true.  And this would be perfectly intuitive to him.  Our intuitions, it seems to me, depend a great deal on the cultural, theological, and philosophical influences we have.  So how reliable are our intuitions in discerning which properties are great-making?
