Tophat665 we are using Anselm's definition for a god in this argument. Obviously everyone has a varying definition of what a god is to them. The Ontological argument's first point is that "God is a being which no greater can be conceived" It does not necessarily say that this is the god that fair amount of society has come to believe in, just that we coin the being which think to be omniscient and omnipotent, god.

I do agree with your definition in part though!
