About the islands and how their perfection is subjective to the individual. I think the proper way to think about the argument would be by assigning the property of conciliation to God. God would then be the thing that remains constant in all those different interpretations of perfection. If there is such a thing as Pure distilled perfection that would be what we understand as God.
This seems like pure equivocation to me. If the GCB mk2 is greater than the mk1 then that's just because you messed up the conception of the mk1, just imagine that _it_ exists and it becomes identical to the mk2, so no contradiction there. And conceiving of the GCB as greater than it actually is is no contradiction either, failing to exist merely detracts from the _actual_ greatness, there's no reason that a non existent being can't be the greatest _conceivable_ being. Unless you _are_ referring to the _actual_ greatness in which case you can't determine which conceived being is the greatest without first determining which ones exist, and I'd like to take this opportunity to nominate Lawrence Krauss as a candidate for the AGCB (Actually greatest concievible being.) The most I think you can say is that the GCB has to be _conceived of_ as existing but so what? I don't think I can conceive of _anything_ as non existent. Sure, there are lots of things I don't think exist but if I'm thinking of them I'm imagining them existing, when I think about them not existing I imagine the world without them in it.
I can conceive of a God that transcends reality, without connection to the mundane. That being would be superior to a material god. You could also reject Anselm's initial proposition that it would be better to exist in both mind and reality, since each would have to be infinite to conceive of and contain an infinite God (greatest conceivable being.) There's no quantitative difference between mind (infinity) and mind-reality (infinity.) If you say the greatest possible God transcends mind and reality then the idea that he exists in reality is trivial and the initial proposition falls apart. Reality would have to be infinitely less than the Transcendental and the greatest 'unreal' Being within it. So I like the idea as a logical puzzle, but not fully convinced yet!
God said (I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse) he said he was taken it from the Jew's and giving it to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. That nation is Christian believers.
Yes God exists, his name is Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob the God of Israel. The Devil also exists, he's a fallen Angel aka Lucifer. I know the blaspheme of those who say they are Jew's but lie and are the synagogue of Satan.
We Christians are Gods Chosen People. I know the blaspheme of those who say they are Jew's but lie and are the Synagogue of Satan. He is not a Jew which is one outwardly but is a Jew which is one INWARDLY.

That sir is gibberish
Nice summary, are the slides available somewhere?
Sir, Can you please make a video on Gayatri C Spivak's 'Translation as Culture' please.
Shame this one has so many ads.

Lol, I was there.
Terrible sound quality in these videos. Alas

Which Christian nation are referring to specifically? Is its capitol Rome or Salt Lake City?

Either there is no god,
"Either" needs two components.
