this is in reply to a recently submitted (old) god-existance proof.
paraphrased:
	god is perfect.  non-existance is an imperfection.  therefore
	god exists.

OK.  now all you have to do is demonstrate that all the other things you
want in a god are the acme of perfection.

also, you must assume not only that existance is a sign of perfection, but
that something "which is perfect in all respects possible" does, in fact,
exist.  the universe suffers many other imperfections; why not this too?
