RE: The modal ontological argument - without modal logic proves atheism

Well I have to admit I did have slightly loftier aims for this argument than a simple piss take.
The ontological argument has always been a piece of crap but I though this version rather better than any of the others I had seen.
What I wanted to show is that, if you were to take the original argument seriously (yeah - OK- big if) the argument doesn't stop there - even when you have proved your God.
The issue I wanted to highlight is that once the argument is in place it still applies even after you got to God and that in its continuing application it will, ultimately, always disprove your God - retaining logical consistency throughout.
In a way its my attempt to kill this god dammed argument once and for all.
I guess it didn't get there and stopped at parody.
Ah well...
