What does everyone think about Anselm's ontological argument? For some reason my brain can't wrap itself around the idea that the assumption that God does not exist leads to a logical contradiction.
My Philosophy professor provided the class with some objections Anselm's argument and demonstrated how each one of them failed (or would fail). I can't really get my brain around that either, it takes me awhile to collect my thoughts. I'm assuming that if you know about Anselm's argument, you know the objections. I might post my prof's examples a little later.
What does everyone think? I understand that Anselm's argument is preaching to the choir in a way, but some of it just seems to be begging the question.
