Can the Ontological Argument for God's existence be refuted?

No, it can't be refuted, see Anderson's emendation of Godel's formal ontological argument which doesn't suffer from modal collapse.
Also OP you're a fucking imbecile if you think a human being made out of atoms is God as in the picture you posted.

Even god is subject to Parmenides' concept of being, so no, your first premise is wrong..

Your argument has no relation with christianity implied by picrel.

That's not the logic used in the modal ontological argument. The argument can be refuted by denying parts of modal logic/necessity itself, trivially.
The bigger issue is that nobody had an issue with necessity until it was used in a proof of God (probably not your god tho), making the criticism seem very ad hoc.

A God who can annihilate himself after creation and still have creation follow his wishes is greater than a God who's limited by having to stick around. Therefore, God existed, but he doesn't anymore.

Maybe because the existence of God is more momentous than analytic trifles about unmarried bachelors.

A God who can conceive of a being greater than himself is greater than a God who cannot.

Why do you think Western civilization is killing itself. We're becoming gods!

At best it's an argument for the existence of a general god. It says nothing about your theology specifically.

Modal logic seems quite a lot more important than correcting the theology of organized religions.
Anyway I agree that the criticism of this arguments premises is motivated by people being intellectually threatened, that's what I pointed out.

The imaginary is necessarily greater than the real. Observe:
/sci/ is a shitty board
I can conceive of a /sci/ that is not shitty
Therefore imaginary /sci/ > actual /sci/
Therefore any God that actually exists is necessarily less great than the greatest God we can imagine.

Wow, your philosocuck language games are so easily refuted.
