The false self and our knowledge of it's deception proves God.
#37
RE: The false self and our knowledge of it's deception proves God.
1. Worship is what is valued most.
By who?  I don't value worship at all.  

2. Each person tends to value themselves the most.
I value my children more than I value myself.  In fact most people have someone they're willing to die for.  So your premise is already flawed through two points.  This isn't looking good.  

3. No person believes others ought to value them the most.
I'm sure someone does, but I'm not seeing the relevance here.

4. We are in double think where we value ourselves as number one but don't believe others ought to value ourselves the most.
I don't value myself as number one.  Premise failed.

5. Each person committed to valuing themselves the most thus creates a false belief, they don't truly believe they should be valued most and hence are believing and acting to lie.
Do I have to repeat myself?

6. Therefore we are false gods.
This makes absolutely no sense.  Value doesn't equal worship, and worship doesn't equal God, or Donald Trump would be god.

7. This suggests there is something we should value the most that is not us and that everything should value the most as well.
It doesn't suggest it at all.  

8. That being is that which out to be valued the most by us and by all (God).
And even if it did, you do not explain why it has to be god.  Failed premise #8.


8 premises, all of them failed.  Not a good argument for the existence of any god.
