Anselm's argument examined.

[max-greece]

"because existence isn't a property, rather it's a necessary precondition to have properties. I think it might be put even better by saying that an object is a property of existence."

Well that addresses my next question which was "what does existence mean when applied to God - who doesn't exist, or can't be detected to exist, in this universe.

Thanks for the input.

I think you've ruled out argument 2. Do you think 3 still stands or has that gone too?
