Very short version of the long argument.

This is the short argument, doesn't mean that each premise cannot be elaborated on (I did that in the other thread).

You'd be better off making a connection with Superman.

You can't deny conclusion in an argument. You have to deal with the premises. So are you saying we can know something about ultimate highest goodness possible without a connection to it?

If I find the first premise faulty then there is no argument/proof. Any conclusion made from a faulty premise is also faulty. 

There is no "ultimate highest goodness". That is something you've made up in your head. It does not exist, or exists only for you in your made up fantasy.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
