Against Christian God

A quick argument against Christian God:

*1)* Only animals have sons

*2)* God has a son

*2)* Therefore, God is an animal *(1, 2)*

Someone might say that *1* begs the question against Christian God. Does it? A Christian could consistently believe and apparently does believe that God is an animal. After all, isn't Jesus human? So the problem is not the truth of premise *1*, but whether it presupposes the falsity of Christianity. So the objection that *1* begs the question assumes that Christianity entails that God is not an animal. That's not obvious at all. Nevertheless, a Christian believes:

*1)* Jesus is God

But

*2)* Jesus is a human

*3)* All humans are animals

*4)* Therefore, Jesus is an animal *(2, 3)*

*5)* God is an animal *(1, 4)*

Here I haven't used any allegedly question-begging premise. Now, minimally, a Christian believes that there is God and that Jesus is his son. Nothing here implies non-animality of God. Worse, it implies animality. Even if a Christian tells me "look, Jesus is an animal, but it possesses divine nature". Fine. That implies that some animals are gods.
