From John Hoggart
Ward pays deserved tribute to Kant for his rigorous demolition of arguments for the existence of God, but then subtly reintroduces a form of one of these discredited arguments. As Kant correctly pointed out, the fact that something can be conceived does not imply that it exists: to paraphrase Kant, a hypothetical notion of God is as different from the real thing as 100 hypothetical euros are from the actual cash. Shop assistants have much to teach professors of divinity here, it seems.
