Modal ontological argument

RE: Modal ontological argument
It's invalid when he's using the same term in more than one way. This would change his X or Y, for example to an X* or Y* on some occasions but not others. So the inferencing would fail. When his terms are being used equivocally then his form is invalid.

But yes, the premises are also unsound the begin with.

So, basically, there isn't really anything charitable to say here besides the fact that he can at least spell words or something (I mean—there are plenty of times when theists can't even do that, even when English is their first language and they're neither dyslexic nor disabled—theists are just, generally, that thick. Sure, so are most atheists and agnostics. But, in general, theists are even dumber. But I digress. Plus, it's perhaps fairer to just say that they're more irrational and emotional. It's one thing to have an intellect and quite another thing to know how to use it and to not let your emotions corrupt it).
