The devil wasnt part of our initial enquiry and so cannot be placed into the logic of that argument...but how about his.

god beat the devil sometime during the 'biblical period'

Arnie also beat the devil in the end of days...

So !

Premise 1 - God is more powerfuil than the devil..

Premise 2 - Arnie is also more powerful than the devil

Conclusion - Arnie is probably as powerful if not more than God..

Or we could spice up the validity somewhat with a supressed premise

Premise 3 - It requires a God to beat the devil.

Conclusion 2 - Arnie could be a God.

Yeah, that could work.
