From God's inexistence it follows God's existence

[irichc]

1) Every truth leads to another one. Otherwise, truth's limit would be a non-truth, in which truth is going to find its beginning and its end. In that case, false propositions would proceed to true ones, and true ones would generate false ones as well.

2) Thus, every truth, whatever it may be, guides us by means of an infinite enchainment to supreme and unattainable Truth, which is God.

3) By stating a single true proposition, being really true, we are denying the limit that will denaturalize it (vid. 1); we are declaring an infinite progression of truths and, consequently, recognizing God's existence (vid. 2).

4) So, even if that hypothetical true proposition was "God doesn't exist", as far as it is asserted as a truth, it follows that God (i.e. the Truth, vid. 2) exists.

5) However, if God exists, the previous proposition (vid. 4) is false; and, if God doesn't exist, it is false too, because in that case the Truth (i.e. God, vid. 2) wouldn't exist and, then, single truths wouldn't exist either (vid. 3). So, in any case, God exists.

I advice you not to equate the concepts "supreme and unattainable Truth" and "God". The second concept is already in use by a religion. The use of the word "God" in this context only causes confusion.

2) Thus, every truth, whatever it may be, guides us by means of an infinite enchainment to supreme and unattainable Truth, which is God.

This argument is not good. In logic a chain of logically true propositions, tautologies, may be infinite, but it does not at all lead to "supreme and unattainable Truth", it only leads to other true propositions.

Perhaps you are also confusing the concepts "logical truth" and the common conception of truth among laymen. These concepts differ very much.

Besides, you're reasoning leads to a logical paradox, a paradox which in itself does not prove that you're right, as you on the other hand assert.
