“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.”

“فإنما الشيء الأساسي أن لا تكذب على نفسك . إن من يكذب على نفسه , ويرضى أن تنطلى عليه أكاذيبه , يصل من ذلك إلى أن يصبح عاجزا عن رؤية الحقيقة في أي موضع , فلا يعود يراها لا في نفسه ولا فيما حوله , وهو ينتهي أخيراً, لهذا السبب , إلى فقد احترامه لنفسه واحترامه لغيره .”
