A strong refutation of the ontological argument is the 

modal ontological argument's reverse, which challenges the premise that it is possible for a maximally great being to exist. By arguing that "it is possible that no maximally great being exists," it can be shown that if this is true, a maximally great being does not exist in the actual world. The ontological argument relies on the idea that existence is a perfection and that a maximally great being possesses all perfections, including necessary existence, but the reverse argument questions whether the very concept of a "maximally great being" is logically coherent and not simply a combination of undefined and impossible properties.

Yes, the 

Affordable Care Act (ACA), or "Obamacare," has saved millions of Americans by increasing health insurance coverage and providing financial protection. The number of uninsured Americans dropped significantly after the law's implementation, and protections against lifetime and annual limits on medical expenses prevented many from facing bankruptcy.

"Idea and being" can be interpreted in two main ways: 

the relationship between a mental concept (idea) and existence itself (being), or as an acronym (IDEA) related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (IDEA). Philosophically, an idea is a thought or mental representation, while being refers to existence or reality. Alternatively, "IDEA" is the acronym for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which ensures free, appropriate public education for children with disabilities.

You are more than selfish most of the time because you engage in “Beliefs: Nihilism, Hedonism, Materialism, Atheism.”

The maximally great being argument is 

an ontological argument for the existence of God, which argues that God is a being that is "maximally great". A maximally great being is defined as having maximal excellence in every possible world, meaning it possesses the greatest possible degree of omnipotence, omniscience, moral perfection, and necessary existence. The argument's core logic suggests that a being that is maximally great in thought must also exist in reality because actual existence is greater than non-existence.

What Faith Is

Debby · a year ago

TRUE FAITH is the GUARANTEE of things desired, and the CONVINCING PROOF of things not seen. TRUE FAITH ENABLES THE BELIEVER TO TRUST THE FUTURE AS BEING THE PRESENT, AND THE INVISIBLE AS BEING SEEN. FOR INSTANCE: 1) We believe that God will supply all of our needs and accept that as fact.

Ibn Kathir in his Tafsir of Surah Al-Rahman (55), verse 72, quotes “the Prophet Muhammad saying: 'The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby.”

Your requirements are specific. You want to be put straight , that would satisfy you because you are crooked today.

Jesus asked for the "cup" to be taken from him in the 

Garden of Gethsemane, but ultimately submitted his will to God's by saying, "not my will, but yours be done". He also remained silent and gave no answer when Pontius Pilate questioned him, a silence interpreted as fulfilling a larger plan, rather than a request for a verbal answer. In the context of unanswered prayers, some biblical interpretations suggest that God's "no" can be a form of an answer, or that there is a greater divine purpose behind it.
