“ I’ve never understood the supposed difficulty in refuting the ontological argument for [a] god’s existence. Apart from the fact that it’s an argument from logic and reason alone, rather than from any actual verifiable evidence – which should rule it out as an argument to be considered seriously anyway in my view – it never seemed to make any sense. Still, some people apparently believe it, including one recent commenter who listed it among the numerous “proofs” that [gods exist], so I thought it was time I deconstructed it. As you’ll see, it didn’t take long to locate the logical fallacy that’s at its heart.

The Ontological Argument for God (via ryking)
It’s so obvious. The only way apologetics work is by misappropriating words and obscuring or switching their meanings; equivocation. The word “God” itself has endless definitions which allow it to be logically abused unlike any other.
