Think about it--if God exists in the actual world, there are no set of contingent facts you can tinker with in a possible world (which are the rules to "possible world" semantics) where God does not exist because you have already established that his existence does not rely on any contingent facts.A strange statement, considering you merely asserted it and then breathlessly claimed it had been demonstrated by that assertion. I see no reason to conclude that gods wouldn't be contingent beings, if gods existed. Pantheons are full of contingent gods, your "jesus"...likewise, a contingent being.

A shitty "explanation" isn't an improvement over no explanation Steve.
