You're to figure out something a lot more basic before you step up to that level.
Are you conceding that the Ontological argument isn't an argument for a personal cause? Well, okay then. I don't see how that's a victory for Christian theism at all.
Also if you can't get anyone to believe your conceptual analysis of maximal greatness is correct then I don't see how you and others think this argument is to work. In this case an "omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect" cause creating a world like this one is insulting to intelligence of atheist and theist alike.
