You still have to deal with the fact that the argument does not argue the both that God exists and God does not exist with the same logic because P4' is not equivalent to P4 as it relates to modal logic and "necessary".

If a necessary being cannot possibly exist, then it doesn't actually exist. That's it.

No offence, but it seems you don't understand the original argument, the parody, or my reply to it. So rather than just make a statement that someone told you the argument proves and end with "that's it", phrase your responses in the form of a question and a discussion can be had.
