Anselm, MysticKnight. Anselm. Not "Aslem".

No. Anselm's argument is at best valid. It is not and cannot be sound, because it is explicitly not making use of any evidence to prove that its premises are actually true. That is why it is called an ontological argument.

No and no.

Serious questions: are you on drugs, and is English your first language?
