[2 / 2 / 1]
>the LORD is by definition the greatest possible being
>the greatest possible being cannot have anything greater than it exist
>an entity that merely exists in the mind is lesser than an entity that exists is reality assuming all other traits the entities have are equal
>Thus, if the LORD only exists as an idea in the mind, then we can imagine something greater than the LORD
>However, the the LORD is by definition the greatest possible thing and to imagine anything greater than the LORD would lead to contradiction
>thus, either the LORD (or greatest possible thing) cannot be imagined as an idea in the mind or the LORD exists in reality and we are merely removing a trait to create a lesser being
>We are able to define the LORD, think about the LORD, and talk about the LORD
>Therefore, the LORD exists in reality as this is the only way to solve this conflict
