Someone actually tried to use the ontological argument on me...

RE: Someone actually tried to use the ontological argument on me...
TheoreticalBullshit has a good point when he says the argument is actually absurd if you applied it to something like a cookie:

(1) Imagine the tastiest cookie ever.
(2) It would be even tastier if it was in your mouth
(C1) The tastiest cookie exists in your mouth

If only things could be willed into existence like that...
