Because an individual may denounce Christianity by thinking within himself that if God had a son that would imply that God has a genital organ with shape, hair, and appearance like that of human beings and he may bring to his mind the exact image of a human genital organ in the context that God would have that if he had a son. Or he may recall the exact voice, words, and sound intonation of an individual that has insulted God with the ** word in the context of thinking how evil the people of our times are.
