I know perfectly well what an axiom is and I still don't think your "god exists" axiom is useful for anything than stating that "something exists".




You are missing the point then for that is the ONLY thing that axiom is meant to show: that something exists and then use that as a foundation for further investigation as to HOW MANY somethings there are[...]



I think you're wrong and that my previous post should make perfect sense to someone versed in standard logic.

Your "proof" is based on god being an object, but that is a way to strong conclusion to draw from the axiom "god exists". A reasonable interpretation of your axiom is that there is a predicate R(x) = "x has the property good" and that there exists at least one x for which R(x). In that language my first axiom A may be formally written as "(x)(y)(R(x) & R(y) --> x=y)".
