Playing safe, huh? :)

One would not reasonably expect tautological logic from Kurt Gödel.

"One of the most significant logicians of all time, Gödel's work has had 
immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th 
century..." - wiki.

No problem at all. But first, there is fun to be had with a 
BAAAWAAAAAAHWAAAAH Knight of atheism.

Oh, bugger it. Here:

Definition 1: God = Metaphysical X.

Definition 2: Metaphysical = Without physical form or substance.

Definition 3: x is God-like iff x has as essential properties those and
only those properties which are positive.

Definition 4: A is an essence of x iff for every property B, x has B
necessarily iff A entails B.

Definition 5: x necessarily exists iff every essence of x is necessarily
exemplified.

Axiom 1: If a property is positive, then its negation is not positive.

Axiom 2: Any property entailed by a positive property is positive.

Axiom 3: The property of being God-like is positive.

Axiom 4: If a property is positive, then it is necessarily positive.

Axiom 5: Necessary existence is positive.

Axiom 6: For any property P, if P is positive, then being necessarily P is
positive.

Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent, i.e.,
possibly exemplified.

Corollary 1: The property of being God-like is consistent.

Theorem 2: If something is God-like, then the property of being God-like
is an essence of that thing.

Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being God-like is exemplified.

Corollary 2: Necessarily, God exists.

After I've had my disguting way with the BAAAWAAAAAAHWAAAAH Knight of 
atheism's unwilling body I'll show you precisely where the killer twist of

the logic knife is, assuming you don't spot it first, of course.
