The ontological argument shows that if God even possibly exists then God actually exists. Which means God is existence itself.
So, an abstract concept based off of wild imaginings? Seems about right.
"God is existence itself" is an equivocal statement, which ultimately lacks any meaning. It's akin to saying god is love, god is sight, or god is the almighty. But I guess keeping "god" intentionally tucked away inside of various concepts, with no direct definition or tangible evidence, is the only way to continue propagating the lie.
