Chris Gaither

The Proof Is in the Woulding: Would That I Find God and God Unbinds Me

woulding- noun: (obsolete) An emotion of desire; an inclination; velleity.

If I were going to rephrase the Ontological Proof
I’d say
I believe in God because
There’s no better explanation
 
And if I were going to re-explain what this proves
I’d say
Because I believe in God
I believe in myself
