While it's hot - I want to point out that the god botherers are no longer insisting that we take things on faith. They think there are arguments and observations. Their faith has been wholly subsumed by scientism.
GJ fellas! Railing against it, but at the same time dependent upon it. Awesome.

The bullshit premise is bullshit no matter who studied it. The logical fallacy that I should read all possible books about it, especially from sound names, is like saying that you should read books on alchemy by Newton, Paracelsius, Jean Baptista Van Helmont, etc.
Godel's variant doesn't contain logical fallacies, the argument is valid in structure. I am currently reading bits of Graham Oppy's Arguing about Gods and he concedes this. The premises of the argument are controversial, OFC.
Read Dr. James A. Lindsay's book. Everyone agrees that Godel's logic is sound; you like to pound on open doors.

That's not how possible world semantics works. And it's trivially easy to reformulate the same argument without the possible world semantics, so you're doubly wrong besides being ninja'd.
Asked and answered.
I am not sure I follow. possible world semantics..?? Maybe there are correct formulations of your argument, I just think the one you presented is plainly false. In one sentence you say that there exists a world where nothing exists i.e. there exists a possible world which doesn't exist. That's impossible by definition.
Anyway, I am not a proponent of ontological arguments. Just a tiny remark.

Fake Messiah dismissed all variants (including Godel's, then) because he thinks they contain fallacies.. so no, not everyone thinks Godel's logic is sound.

It was always about arguments and observation. The Qur'an recounts Abraham's quest the truth, Abraham observed the Moon and thought it was God, then turned to the Sun, before embracing monotheism. Islam doesn't forbid rational investigation.

Then why do you avoid it? I mean, I agree...it doesn't forbid it. I'm just noticing that none of you have the time or patience for it - and just as soon as some x strongly suggests your stupid religion is full of shit, you pretend you don't believe in x and it's irrational to believe in x.
What gives?

The world exists in what sense?? If you think of it as an empty container, then a container exists, the possible world is then a big fat container out there.. not the nothing Angrboda is using in her argument

No, the container is not in the world defined by the container.
