Well at least something good has come out of it.
I felt a bit bad in taking down the argument with such ferocity, but then again, I do hate the Ontological argument...sooo much. That people still manage to think it is a good argument astounds me!
I used to be that way though. I used to think agnosticism was a cop-out, and ironically it was in doing research for an article criticising agnosticism that I finally decided to read Thomas Huxley's essay on it. I was surprised to find that I agreed with every word, and that agnosticism wasn't the problem, but the modern (wrong) interpretation of it was. Hence I changed the focus of my article to the explanation of the misconceptions of agnosticism, and people agreed with it.
