      On what basis do you form these "God" premises? I mean... you define "God" (on what basis, for what purpose?) and then make statements about that defined entity, yet there is no connection to anything real. Basically you just made up an entity, claimed properties and reasoned from there.

      Unless there is some relevance to this in terms of what really exists I fail to see how it is more than an exercise in logical reasoning, arbitrarily defining words and statements to form conclusions.

      As in:

      (God defined as a banana peel)
      P1: God can fly.
      P2: God is yellow.
      P3: God exists in the real world.
      P4: The real world allows no object to fly higher than 30 ft.
      C1: God cannot fly higher than 30 ft.

      And as for theism, I don't want to sound rude but I think there are already plenty of reasons not to believe in God and I don't see a particular need to come up with more, especially if they involve arguing with a word that denotes an arbitrarily made up concept ("omniscient being").
