They're not illogical (some are logically valid), but as I'm an atheist, I certainly don't accept them. :p

What part of "He's a Maximally Great Being, which includes necessary existence" is not illogical word play?

No, that argument is stupid in the extreme.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
