Quotes by Douglas N. Walton (?)

“1. God is (by definition) a being than which no greater being can be thought.

2. Greatness includes greatness of virtue.

3. Therefore, God is a being than which no being could be more virtuous.

4. But virtue involves overcoming pains and dangers.

5. Indeed, a being can only be properly said to be virtuous if it can suffer pain or be destroyed.

6. A God that can suffer pain or is destructible is not one than which no greater being can be thought.

7.For you can think of a greater being, that is, one that is nonsuffering and indestructible.

8. Therefore, God does not exist.”
