My version of the Ontological argument






I think it's probably about time I wrote my own illustrated philosophy book for children.

  1. Does the set of things that can be conceived necessarily have a supremum?

  2. Not necessarily no, but "greatest conceivable being" is often the description given to God. I'll do another post with the counter argument later, don't worry! :)

  3. <3 This is excellent. I really hope you do publish that illustrated children's guide! I would read it... to my children. And also to myself.

    And, just by the by, chocolate chip brownies are definitely the greatest conceivable beings and mostly saturate the best of all possible worlds. They also contain an infinite number of hedons.:-D

    1. Oh really? Thanks! :) let me know if there's any other philosophical things you don't understand!

  5. Funnily enough, people think you're being flippant (or worse) if you suggest that doing things because you believe in God is equivalent to starving yourself because you believe you will eat the best cookies ever this evening.

    Hey, they're the best cookies ever! They *must* be going to arrive right now!

    I guess I should stop reading the Internet and have some lunch.

    1. Also, are those actually brownies? Or are they dingo's kidneys?
