Ahem, on the God subject, here's a theory from Anselm that i thought was quite interesting.
He says that, even if you do not believe the Christian God exists, you would have to admit that if that God did exist, it would be perfect. This means all Gods attributes would also have to be perfect. It is greater to exist than to not exist, so Gods existance parameter must be that he exists, therefore God exists. This is an arguement that attempts to prove God exists through logic alone, it was continued by Descartes but I can't remember what he thought. I personally feel this arguement is a play on words and is actually a cop-out arguement, but its interesting nonetheless.
This theory also states there is only one God, for to be the greatest, no other being can be equal to this God.
