1. Nothing is better than God
2. A ham sandwich is better than nothing
3. Therefore a ham sandwich is better than God.
The Ontological argument follows similar logic. It plays silly word games.
Essentially, in the words of Kant, "existence is not a predicate".
Proof of the existence of the fliminian.
I'm going to attempt to prove to you the existence of a creature called a fliminian. some may say it is a fictional creature. Others may say that I just made it up. Lies. It exists.
First off: What is a fliminian? Well let’s define it:
A fliminian is a creature with the following properties:
1. It is shaped like a horse, except it has eight legs.
2. It has a tail like a scorpion.
3. It exists.
Therefore the existence of the fliminian is necessary, and we can follow the previous proof to show that it hence exists. After all it is a contradiction in terms to claim that a creature which exists does not exist.
