As Igzy has stated, to say there are persons but not beings is to effectively say that there are persons, but there are not persons.

It is the error of both being and not being and is, by definition, a false statement.

The rest of your post is predicated on the presumption that persons are not beings. We differ in a serious way on this. So you can howl at the moon about it. There is no analysis of English that arrives at that conclusion.
