Calling someone son is more paternal than biblical. Even if it were not, using the stories of an ancient book and thinking they really happened literally and apply to modern life is just a little bit jeuvenile. No water was turned to wine, the Red Sea was not parted and Jesus didn't rise from his grave.
The story of david versus Goliath is meant to give the little guy hope. In reality, the Smurfs is closer to the truth; Even when all 100 smurfs band together, they can only hope to escape from Gargamel, never to defeat him.
