1. God is the greatest possible being.
True
The Atheo Wrote:2. God is a necessary being, which means that God exists in every possible world (If God exists).
Define all the possible worlds. Why would God have to exist in all of them?
The Atheo Wrote:3. If God exists in one possible world, God must logically exist in every possible world.
Why, this is stating something an omnipotent being must do in reference to the physical?
The Atheo Wrote:4. Since God is the greatest possible being, it follows that every aspect of God (being possible) exists in some possible world.
In #3 you said every possible world, now your down to some possible world, why?
The Atheo Wrote:5. Therefore, God exists (in all possible worlds, including ours).
You have once again switched from some to all, why? Why is it necessary for God an omnipotent being to exist in any world but this one, why are any other worlds even necessary?
The Atheo Wrote:I actually just structured the premises this way myself but is the same idea as an argument I heard before.
What do you think of it?
As you can see by my questions I have serious doubt.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
