It is laughably poor reasoning. Reality is absolute and objective, not relative and no different for you nor anyone else. If you deny that reality is absolute, you are left unable to make any claim including that of a claim to a god. Your claims that a god forms some part of the fabric of reality can be instantly dismissed without any support; evidential, logical or otherwise. If you provide nothing then we are left to conclude that you are merely asserting that god exists. Which is no different from believing in a cartoon god in a cartoon existence. Many theists have made many attempts at arguing to a god on evidential, logical and presuppositional grounds. You seem to provide none of these, and are left holding a dog shit position.
