What does this argument do other than prove the idea of God exists?

It can also be used to prove polytheism since two gods of equal greatness above which no others exist is greater than one god.

I can imagine a being greater than your God, therefore this being exists and your God is not a god.  Regarding the Sunday closing laws, they are the result of religious people overstepping their power by trying to police morals while infringing on constitutional freedom.  Just because religious people are voted into power and make religious based rules, doesn't mean America is a religious nation.  The fact that you don't need to be married by the church is proof enough.

Why have you never questioned that law about mixed thread?  It seems like such a silly rule to have to follow.

You can be married in a church in America, but unless you file a license with the state, you're not married.  You should know this since you went through it recently.  The ontological argument can be used to make the case God could exist, but it can be used to make the case that a lot of other things could exist.  It doesn't even get close to proving anything does exist.  I really don't know why you continue to hold on to it.

Why are mixed threads prohibited?

The treatment of religion in the communist countries sounds more like a problem with communism than atheism.  America is an atheist country, it has no official religion, but it allows people to believe and practice how they want, within legal confines of course. 

Are you allowed to wear clothing made of mixed material?

Hold on Thork, their second craft is 60% complete.  They can still pull this off with another 5 years time.
In 2004 they said they would be ready in 2007. Now in 2014 you want to give them another 5 years? The x15 achieved what Branson is trying to do in 1963. The whole thing is a joke on people who can't be bothered to research the subject.
I suppose you can't read sarcasm very well.

Wouldn't another way to look at the whole "man laying with a man but no mention of women" be that they were largely overlooked at that time.  How many women does God speak to in the Bible?  I can't think of any off the top of my head, he is always speaking to men.  If men are his target audience then it makes sense he wouldn't really mention anything about women.  Are there any restrictive laws specifically about woman as there are with men and their beard?

If you have knowledge of a horrific event about to take place and do nothing about it doesn't that make you partially responsible for its occurrence, particularly if it is within your power to stop it?  Wouldn't that make God partially responsible for a lot of atrocities due to his omnipotence and omnipresence?

So we even know Moses was able to read and write?  I thought ancient royalty had scribes so they didn't have to do that stuff?

Why couldn't God just explain the laws in such a way that there would be no questions to begin with?  He is God after all, the almighty being who can wish living creatures into existence with no more than a thought.

So wait, God's message is irrelevant and the only important thing is that he was seen and heard?  Doesn't that make the Torah irrelevant then?

You keep dancing around the matter.  Do you receive a reward for following God's commandments?  Is it possible for a nonbeliever to receive a a similar reward without following his commandment, whatever commandments nonJews are required to follow?

Also, it's been found that one of the leading archaeologists trying to prove Exodus faked his proof and no one else has really come up with much proof since.  You can argue that absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence, but a lot of things point to it never occurring.

I've already indicated what Laws non-Jews are expected to follow, and that obedience to such renders them to be as righteous as any Jew. Of course, you don't know the name of the scientist.
The name is Ron Wyatt, I couldn't remember his name because it's useless information which can be looked up in 5 minutes.
You mentioned that eating bacon won't determine someone's access to Paradise, then why follow that commandment if it's pointless?

I just ask wondering if a nonfollower of his commandments received the same rewards.

People in Tennessee are legally allowed to eat road kill and they aren't dying by the thousands because of it.  If that doesn't tell you something about the "dangers" of carrion then I'm not sure what will.  When you cook something, you are heating it to kill off any parasite or disease living inside it, thus making it safe to eat.
