The classic ontological argument
#8
RE: The classic ontological argument
I won't deny that god exists as a concept, a psychological construct, because it obviously does. The problem is that the religious want it to exist in reality as MORE than a concept of the mind, in fact they insist that it does. 

This argument does not make it more than a concept. If it did then elves and superman would also exist as more than a concept.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
