The classic ontological argument
#21
RE: The classic ontological argument
The dumbo experiment. There is the elephant. There is the elephant in my head. There is the elephant in my head that can fly. There are things that each can do that the others cannot, logically and actually. Only one of them can actually work a field. Only one of them can logically or "properly" fit it my head. Only one of them can fly. If the difference between conceiving and imagining is possibility than it lies somewhere between the second and third elephant. If we're discarding the third elephant, we're discarding the god in magic book. I won't spend any time laboring under the ridiculous pretense that a christian apologist is ever arguing for any other elephant.

So we have the real elephant, the better elephant, and the best elephant.
1. God is the best elephant.
2. Better elephants can be imagined.
3. A real elephant is greater than a better elephant.
4. Therefore the best elephant is a real elephant.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
