Abstract
According to one antitheist argument, the necessarily omniscient, necessarily
omnipotent, and necessarily omnibenevolent Anselmian God does not exist, because
if God is necessarily omnipotent it is impossible for Him to comprehend fully
certain concepts, such as fear, frustration and despair, that an omniscient being
needs to possess. Torin Alter examines this argument and provides three elaborate
objections to it. I argue that theists would not accept any of them because they
con ict with traditional Judaeo-Christian doctrines concerning divine attributes.
