I can conceive of a being that no other being can be greater than.
Things can exist in reality and in the mind
Things that exist in reality are better than things that exist in the mind. (Imagine $1,000,000 would it not be better to have the money in your hand than just to imagine it)
If my being does not exist in reality then any real being is greater than it.
Therefore my being must by definition exist and is by definition God.
Can you spot the flaw in the argument?

-Are we all meaningless/do we really matter?
-If you die as a normal teenager, will you go to Heaven?
-There's SO MANY people in the world, how is that everything about us is predestined ... or not?
-Why is that the world can't just end now? I am ready!
-Does EVERYTHING happen for a reason & has purpose? Why or why not?
-Does God care about everyone?

Is evil relative or absolute? If it is relative how can it be said to exist in any meaningful sense If it is absolute what is its essence?
What is truth? How do we discover truth and how do we know it. What makes truth irrefragable? Can truth ever be absolute and if so under what circumstances?
Compare and contrast 'Existentialism' with Plato's metaphysics.

Where does the universe end? If it's infinity, is infinity just a word for that which we have determined undefinable as humans?

'Why are you here?' is the only philosophical question there is. Every other question is merely a branching out.

Is it human to be a slave to our instincts or human to rise above them?
For instance, is it human to be tempted by lust and cheat or almost cheat on a spouse? Or is it human to use higher brain centers to resist the temptation?
