What do you think of this argument for God?

RE: What do you think of this argument for God?
Just because a thing might be defined as possible doesn't automatically make it likely; or even probable. It's possible for me to become a famous movie star - not realistically going to happen, though.

However, premise 1 is also flawed in another way. Let's grant "God" the possibility of existence. The most that be drawn from that, then, is that it could exist in some possible world - "every possible world" is a total non sequitur, smuggled in through the back door. And exploring further, what's the justification for believing that our world is one of those possible worlds in which the character might exist?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
