What is flawed is saying God must exist in all possible worlds to be the greatest being possible. In reality, the true premise, is there cannot exist a possible world with a greater being then God for God to be the greatest possible being. This would be the real premise. He doesn't need to be the greatest in all possible worlds.

I have lost faith in philosophers. It takes too long to realize simple logical errors in arguments.
