4. Since God is the greatest possible being, it follows that every aspect of God (being possible) exists in some possible world.
5. Therefore, God exists (in all possible worlds, including ours).
I actually just structured the premises this way myself but is the same idea as an argument I heard before.
What do you think of it?
Just another variation of an ontological argument.
Sorry, but you can't define a god into existence.
Basically what this argument does is list some attributes that this god would have, then add one more attribute, which is existence. But existence is not an attribute. To have attributes, the thing under discussion exist in the first place.
That is the major fallacy of all variations of the ontological argument. They assume God is logically necessary and go from there.
Hail Satan!
