"as for the proof , its really not a proof at all . if God is defined as a perfect being in reality , that does not mean that God exists . if i define a ufo as a flying spacecraft from another planet in reality , that does not make such things exist . its just a definition . i really dont see how that can be even considered a proof basically , the definition : `` a being possessing every perfection and every positive attribute `` is not a true definition , because both perfection and positive attributes are subjective . so theres really nothing to work with here God , by this definition , doesnt exist"
"Well , according to Descartes , if I have an idea of a most perfect being , I shall distinctly perceive that such a being must contain all perfections - including reality in every degree . So this idea also contains existence . God 's essence is to exist , and of no other thing can this be said . ( Existence in everything else being contingent . ) To refute these arguments , and some philosophers doubt they can be refuted , I think you will need to take another tack ."
"is being in another exist can be and to this"
