The Ontological Argument is flawed.

 Not only does it rely on the idea that "maximum perfection" is not only possible but has an obligation to exist when it could just be a concept, but the idea that a deity is the maximally great being is flawed. A cosmic equivalent to a stem cell would be better. The ability to have godliness without being confined to the form of a god. The ability to become something while not being something, existing on its own. Its greatness and its possibility allowing it to surpass the dichotomy of big and small, encompassing both in certain regards.

2 Corinthians 4:7

  But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from   God   and not from us. Under Christianity, in regards to things that matter, you don't. The best you can be is approved by the chief in power who will send you to hell for disobedience, defined to include such terrible atrocities as not forging those who trespassed you.

Christianity's penchant for pillaging has only become less physical, more verbal.

 Christianity evidentially keeps trying to convert people from religions, for various stated motivations, somehow labeled as lesser than Christianity. But another thing is in apologetics itself. You'll see it on this blog and even in the wild that oftentimes Christianity barges into the frameworks of others, destroys everything, and tries to stranglehold you into it's beliefs. Evolution is permitted to exist but it can never explain the mind, and the times it can explain reasoning it can only do so by making it in stark contrast to truth. They try to tear a hole and then assert that God is in there. I have explained why this on paper is fake but outside of that you can also see a barbaric urge to destroy what isn't in their book. It is blatant that the crusader, the theocrat, hasn't been abolished, it has been curbed and can only take forms of ideological sabotage until it regains it's stronghold on the weak and allows them to shed the need for civility.

Imaginative Conservative imagines its own versions of Christianity, freedom, and logic.

 https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2014/03/libertarians-and-religion.html Does God underwrite our freedom, or undermine it? Look at Leviticus where there's numerous victimless laws being classified as sins. Look at the New Testament where Jesus defends Mosaic law while being a cult leader. There are thousands of self-styled “libertarians” who would argue the latter. They actively oppose the religious commitments of most social conservatives, many of them convinced that materialism is the best metaphysical home for what we might call “libertarian values”—individual rights, freedom and personal responsibility, reason, and moral realism. Yeah, because physicalism entails looking at the world as it is and noticing that much of the laws that people espouse are based on some type of incongruety. Ignoring that people are individuals with no real debt to each other and no real hive mind linking them, trying to say that people are responsible for the actions of others, be it gun contro...

The ontological argument assumes that perfection entails a deity.

 Not only must something perfect exist for some debt, because reasons, but this perfection needs to be a deity instead of raw potential like a stem cell.

Assumptions of theism.

 Somehow, eternalism is false and there needs to be a first cause. Somehow, this first cause isn't something similar to forces, energies, or matter already known to exist but something new entirely. Somehow, this entirely new thing is specifically divine rather than simply metaphysical in a more mundane way. Somehow, this divinity is sentient. Somehow, this divinity had enough power to make the world and retain itself instead of just making itself into the world (pantheism) because "it's already powerful so let's just say it can do whatever it wants". Somehow, this deity has actual intentions to get itself involved in humanity rather than just making it's own ant farm. Somehow, this deity is the specific deity from their religion because their religion somehow monopolized spirituality. To give the Christians credit, they don't add in numerous deities when one would do the job, but at the same time they add in a court of angels fighting rebellious angels ca...

Christian want you to believe that their god is mericiful when he's comparable to a father throwing his children into the woods.

 A God of forgiveness throws out his children because they ate the fruit of knowledge and couldn't be immortal anymore, because in spite of them being immortal alone and not omnipotent, they were somehow to close to Godhood. This is dumb not only because God could've had intelligent children making moral decisions instead of just blindly obeying him, but he is the creator of all things, nothing to miraculous for him https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/32-27.htm https://biblehub.com/genesis/18-14.htm https://biblehub.com/matthew/19-26.htm Would it not be too hard to wipe their minds and give them a lesser punishment? Especially since he can turn Lot's wife into salt for looking at her home one last time before God destroyed the town instead of just the people. Additionally, this is looking into the book itself rather than the real world. There's no absolute evidence of a deity, the most being something weird that Creationists try to fashion into a divinity explicitly. Essentia...
