De Phallum Dei

As everyone educated in philosophy knows, the ontological argument purports to prove the existence of God by reason alone. The argument goes as follows:



1) God is the greatest possible thing, exemplifying all positive characteristics.


2) God can either exist only in our understanding, or both in our understanding and in reality.


3) God would be greater if he existed in both our understanding and reality.


4) Therefore, God must exist in reality.



Another way to state that God is the greatest possible thing is to say that for every positive trait, he holds it to the highest degree. That is to say, God is perfectly good, wise, powerful, etc. In fact, for any positive property P, God must exemplify it. Therefore, it follows that God has the greatest P-ness in reality.
