Where is Einstein? Just wanna talk.
There's these "ontological arguments", which are basically folks trying to prove the existence of a god by reasoning with pure logic, so without relying on evidence. And they all sound like that. ๐ซ
One of the classics goes roughly like this:
These arguments are also always funny, because the same logic can be used to "prove" all kinds of things. For example, a perfect island can exist, therefore it must exist. ๐
As far as I can tell, the arguments don't actually get better over time either, but rather just more convoluted, to make it less obvious how silly they are...

I usually heard the BS from a creationist perspective.
The universe cannot exist without a creator ... which is also a hell of an assumption to turn into an axiom.
and people say religion doesn't harm people... It obliterates their ability to logic.
