Accepted as true without proof? But it isn't, not by everybody. So, unlucky.
Furthermore, treating the existence of god as axiomatic in a logical proof can only lead to determine the proof a the validity of the argument, not it's soundness. It cannot validate that the axiom is true, and therefore, with respect to this particular axiom, says nothing about the existence of god.
As the entire argument is predicated on an unproven axiom, it's all nothing but mental masturbation, and IMHO, not worthy of serious discussion.
