I believe in God and I believe there are good arguments to point to his existence as well some clear reminders. However, I don't find your argument strong at all.
Your difficulty lies in the argument's ontological leanings. I understand that. For 10 centuries philosophers have been trying to debunk it. I've tied the ontologocial argument to a mathematical observation: Incompleteness. The tethering makes the onotological conclusion even more obvious. I'd hoped that "greatness" would finally be understood in the infinite being necessarily revealed in an explanation of the universe. But the argument isn't a fallacy, on the contrary, it is valid and sound (but not convincing)...it wasn't meant to be such (at least not for the ardent atheist). I'm glad that we've finally come around to opening the door to true questionning. Perhaps there is a god, who could this being be? I believe that truth leads only one way.
Easy, FSM. Let him into your heart and you'll see.
