Evidence for a god. Do you have any? Simplified arguments version.

OK, that seems reasonable.

I suppose I do, at least I value it, and while it may be a little fuzzy, at least it is specific to me.

If there were a God and it is omniscient, that would follow. Any omniscient being would be able to perceive me exactly as I am.

But this in no way follows from any of your premises. Just because you make a series of true statements does not mean your conclusion follows.

I can see.
I can see because I have eyes.
Only a being with eyes can see me.
A being with eyes a million times more acute than mine could see me a million times better.
Therefore there must be a being with eyes a million times more acute than mine.

My conclusion is a non sequitur, it does not follow from the premises. And your conclusion is also a non sequitur.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
