Thanks Jarhyn for pointing that out, it always bugs me a lot if theists commit this kind of special pleading, and then refuse to rationalize it in any way
I agree with all you criticism, I am sometimes a very "fast " person, but far from it always implying something positive. Maybe my speed in devising this resulted in at least parts of it being pulled out of my backside :) . For C6 and the accompanying premises I might tell you that it does...

P2: Perfection implies freedom from error
P3:freedom from error is a concept created by humans
C1:so god is error free according to a human concept
P4: but god is not error free according to human standards
C2:so he is not perfect either
P5: something that is...
