I think you are talking about St. Anselm.
​
It's kind of a silly argument he makes. He basicaly says "first you got to get them to belive in the articles of faith, then that proves god."
​
i.e. Get them to have faith and god is the ultimate conclusion.
​
Altho he says it many, MANY, more words. His proof was ripped apart by a Jewish theologian who wrote an angry response. Most copys of St. Anselms work comes with this theologians counter argument.
