Ahh...I get it now. This isn't a counter argument in the sense you've seen their argument, and now you're going to counter it using logic to show that it's false. It's a "You've created an argument filled with premises I don't believe? Well, I got my own argument filled with premises you don't believe that says the opposite!"
From the text:
What makes a good counter-argument?
Some counter-arguments are better than others. You want to use ones that are actually somewhat persuasive. There’s nothing to be gained by rebutting a counter-argument that nobody believes.
The shortcoming of your 'counter argument' is it's got a bunch of premises that are false, so the conclusion is going to be false (in the logical sense).
EDIT: Maybe this will help clarify things. What is the purpose of your argument? Who is it for?
