The Ontological Argument: the Mystic Pizza

Imagine the perfect pepperoni pizza. Huge and tasty. Perfect in every way. Infinite in it's crusty goodness. No pizza could be greater or more pure. So, having savory imaginings of this Pie of Ages, one must conclude without doubt that this most perfect of pizzas exists for it must if it is perfect. It must also be accessible because a pie that is not tasted and enjoyed would not be perfect since taste is a huge component of pizzary perfection. It cannot be metaphorical or hypothetical since neither would be perfectly satisfying and to think such a thing is simply foolish.

Don't ask me to explain such an obvious thing to you for without years of philosophy you won't understand. No, because we know that such logic exercises in setting the absolute limits of The Pie that is also related to Pi must result in an actual extant uberpie. By assigning perfection to the pizza construct we ensure that it has slammed into corporeal reality as we have defined perfection as to require existence and accessible tastiness. Now abandon your foolish notions of the fact that those hoping for the existence of the Truly Special Delivery get to arbitrarily define perfection and that this definition need not coincide with anything we know objectively. In fact there is only one way that such an uberpie Kant exist... One must, if logical, faithfully await that knock on the door by the great cosmic pizza delivery man. And of course keep in mind that a perfect pizza would be free...

To argue against this premise means that your are unschooled in the art of logic and lack sufficient education. Still not convinced of the superior logic? You aren't the first. To (greatly) paraphrase Bertrand Russell 'though it seems obviously flawed it's hard to articulate a specific reason why this is a load of crap' - no wait! Maybe we can. Let's imagine a perfect load of crap. No need, what could exceed the ontological argument in that regard...
