Anslem's argument is sound.

@Wallym, my certainty in love is that we are all connected.  You are right,  appeal to emotion is not a proof.  But vision by love to the extent you are certain on top of certain that a mystical intrinsic value to things is assigned objectively and with absolute vision is one of the most foundational parts of being human.

While someone may take their doubt as proof that they have no connection or link to God, through love, I know we are not only connected, but I understand exactly what the mystic link that connects us all is.

If you value life at all, even if your life, outside of emotion, outside of simply pain and happiness, but value it out of a belief it ought to be valued, then Anslem's argument shows you ought to believe in God.  And if you don't value your own life, but value the life of others, then again, Anslem's shows you ought to believe in God at least if you would to be honestly consistent.

I don't believe life ought to be valued, outside of the practicality of existence. If I did believe life had intrinsic value, I'd seriously consider Anselms argument.  I actually went to St. Anselm College, amusingly enough.  The idea is nice though.
