Disproving Christianity (Short Version)

I made this proof up a while ago, it's very stupid but I like it. It's a reductio on Christianity:

Premises:

1. God is alive (For what mortal man has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived? -- Deut 5:26)
2. God obeys his own laws (One and the same law applies to everyone -- Num 15:29)
3. God mandates the death penalty for adultery (If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death -- Lev 20:10)
4. God had sex with Mary (Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit -- Matt 1:20)
5. Mary was married to another man at the time (Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary -- Matt 1:16)

(I think you can see where this is going but let's finish it off)

Argument:

1. God committed adultery (P4, P5)
2. God mandates execution for himself (1, P3)
3. God is dead (2, P2)

So we end with the negation of P1. Done. Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

(The citation for P2 is a bit out of context but no more than most biblical arguments).
