By accepting premise 1 as a definition of God, all aspects of God are possible. Adding impossible aspects is inconsistent with premise 1.
According to your first premise
Quote:1. God is the greatest possible being.
(emphasis mine)
The greatest possible being by definition can posses only the greatest possible characteristics, impossible characteristics are unfortunately not one among the possible characteristics of the greatest possible being. Suppose a religion include impossible characteristics as one of the possible characteristics of the greatest possible being, then it simply follows that God is the greatest impossible being since only an impossible being may posses impossible characteristics, ie, non-existent.
I defined God as the greatest possible being, so no other religion can tinker with it. It is independent of these religions.
Now that I think about this, it would probably be better if I added this in the philosophy section.
Hail Satan!
