God and Reality:
The Perfect Friend

For it is not possible that I could exist with the nature I possess, that is to say, having in me the idea of God, were it not the case that God really existed.

Ever get that feeling someone’s got your back? Descartes figures that if you’ve got the idea of a perfect, all-knowing friend (God), it’s because such a friend actually exists.

No way your imperfect brain came up with that on its own!
