There's an easier way to debunk it.
'P1: the concept of God has no contradictions in itself.'
Sez who? One must define the concept of God first in order to confidently state that it is non-contradictory. I'm unaware of ANY traditional concepts of God which are non-contradictory.
If P1 can be show to be false, the rest of the argument vanishes (to quote Douglas Adams) in a puff of logic.
