In The Ontological Argument, Saint Anselm argues that God is "that than which nothing greater can be conceived". Is Saint Anselm's argument valid? Atheists or Satanists don't believe in God. Is everything they think of considered bad or evil? Or do they think of God, not as Himself, but as other people or things they, in their own minds, think of as "great"?
             Saint Anselm claims, "There is more than one way to say something in the heart or to conceive of it". He's basically saying that there is more than one way to believe in God. Atheists may treasure someone or something in reality and in mind, such as a picture or a parent. Since God is "that than which a greater can not be conceived", if an atheist treasures a parent as the greatest, then they are actually believing in God, because God created us in His image. Therefore, we are all a part of God.
             What about Satanists? If they believe that Satan is the greatest, even though Satan is the enemy of God, are they still worshipping God? This is the point in which I become confused. Saint Anselm makes a good point, but his point can only be stretched to a certain limit. This, I don't have an answer to. I would have to ask Saint Anselm personally to get an answer. Maybe even he would get confused with this question. We can only travel as far as the road takes us. And, unfortunately, this short road has suddenly hit a dead end.
