Proof of the existence of God

I haven’t read the extensive material you’ve written on this subject yet. I just have a specific question. What do you say about an argument like this:
God, by definition, is a perfect being (even an atheist defines him this way), and if that is the case, it is clear that he exists, otherwise he would not be perfect.

This is a careless formulation of Anselm’s argument. I dealt with it at great length in the first conversation in the first stanza.
