Congratulations, you've thought of mythological creatures, which CAN be proven to be unreal based on their nature. On the other hand, God can NOT be proven to be unreal, no one has done so. You've acknowledged God, good job. You cannot prove that He does not exist. I on the other hand can disprove your claims because they are MYTHOLOGICAL creatures, God is not.Assertions. Back up your claims. For starters, prove that mythological creatures cannot exist.
Quote:Anselm, one of the GREATEST Philosophical thinkers stated my first claim. Hence,by thinking of God, you've already acknowledged Him, you can choose to deny Him in your life, but you cannot deny the fact that God does no exist, no one can. How does this make someone dishonest? And I apologize that there are smarter people than you.
Even if Anselm truly was a great thinker, parroting his claims does not confer the same status onto yourself. No more than holding a mirror up to the mona lisa would make you a great artist.

So too has just about everyone else on this thread.
Anselm clearly is not the intellectual powerhouse you take him for. Your argument violates one of the most basic logical axioms - the law of non-contradiction. If Anselm was unaware of this, he can't have been a very good philosopher. If he was aware of this, he was a very stupid philosopher.
I'm sorry, but using that argument in this forum is akin to turning up to the battle of Kursk with a tricycle and a waterpistol.
