Seriously?! The Ontological Argument for the existence of god?
You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Quote:I have learned that I must read more from this guy.
Kurt Godel was a brilliant mathematician, If you read more of him, read about his expertise in math (Read - 'Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid' by Douglas Hofstadter. Brilliant book). But his math prowess make him no more of an expert of the existence of a god as you, which seeing as how you seem to fall for every fallacious argument, is not saying much.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
