	Shades of St. Anselm!!  I bet you can even PROVE your god exists
becuase his definition precludes nonexistance.

	Notice the fantastic strides made in the last 50 (500?) years, from
being "blasphemy", the question of of God's origin has advanced all the way to
"nonsense".  Can you say "sophistry", Ken?  Good!  Now try "ad hominem".
