Not quite the truth

Today in class, my partner Will Riddle told me five things that be believed to be 100% true. He told me that his home was in Lexington, SC, he is 20 years old, he has two parents, he is an only child, and he is from South Carolina. Although at first, second, and third glance these all look indisputable, I know something personal about Will that makes one of these facts iffy. Will claims that he has two parents, which I believe is true. I believe he has a mother and father. However, I also know that Will classifies himself as a Christian, which means that God is also his father. The two parents that Will was referring to in his truth statements were his earthly parents, but I know that everyone has an Heavenly Father as well, which means Will actually has three parents. With this idea in mind, I would also make the argument that Will is not an only child. He may be an only child to his earthly parents, but he has millions of siblings in Christ.
