Therefore the dog is not all-black.
This is a perfectly analogous argument. It is ridiculous logic. 1 is simply and clearly impossible given 2. The premise itself. Not the conclusion. It isn't even necessarily a false premise. It's impossible.
If it weighs 100kg it must weigh 1kg
Things that weigh 1 kg can't weigh 100kg
It doesn't weigh 100 kg.

Wrong, your premise 1 and premise 2 contradict each other. That's not the case in mine.
In mine, premise 2 determines whether the condition for God's existence stated in premise one is met in reality. They don't contradict each other. My argument is valid, yours are incoherent.
I can't believe how difficult you are finding this.
