The Ontological Argument

Suffice to say, logic cannot prove the existence of God.. nor can it disprove it.

@ the billion dollar word substitution: A billion dollars is not omnipresent, and thus in a possible world it could either be nonexistent, or displaced, or you might not even have a bank account or exist in the first place. The argument does not work for the billion dollars where it does work for God because God was defined as omnipresent. But again, logic games will never prove a point either way; they only prove the limits of an individual's ability to see beyond what they wish to be true.

@ the triangle argument: A triangle is, by definition, a plane figure with three straight sides and three angles.

Go read a book.

So what's God's true nature?

And can you dispense with the implications that other posters are insufficiently educated? You're representing Christ here.
