Already I'm in deep trouble. Syntactic patch below.

When it comes to God's existing only in the mind of the Fool who denies
that God exists, as against God's existing in a stringly-strung
universe, Anselm--no fool--thought that *[deleted]* the idea of
God-in-the-universe entailed that such a God, the God lined up with
this idea, would contain more 'perfection' (see Descartes) than a God
(so-called) who was the referent of somebody's idea only, and so the
entity denoted by the former idea had to exist, because nobody could
conceive of anything greater than such an entity, except by cheating.
