 God is one AND composed of parts... Infinite parts, at will, higher and lower, inside and out.. Its fractal in all directions, including directions we can't think of. 
 yes, it is an AND

God is a number - infinity, and a quality - uncountable

we use that word "uncountable" in the sense that we would require infinite time to count all the attributes

mathematicians play with this nonsense all the time with their "real" numbers but that's something a mathematician can never show you

a "real" number, that is not an integer or a limited precision representation. 
 Can't be both, that is a contradiction in terms.

Something that is one is not composed of parts, and something that is composed of parts is not one.

Deny that, and you have to throw out all of logic.

Y'all are denying the law of non-contradiction. 
 you can relate infinity and nothing

but you can only relate finitude with other finitude

when you relate finitude with infinity or nothing you get infinity or nothing, they are special identities

they even can be categorised: countable and uncountable

ironcially, "real" numbers are literally uncountable

when it comes down to it, any number you can represent is finite and singular, and thus it can be related to any other finite and singular value

infinity and nothing are qualities, not numbers

it's not that God is not composed of many parts, it's that He's composed of infinite parts, so you can sit there listing them until you drop dead, and still not even touch a fraction because there is no fraction of infinity 
 it's not that it can't be both

you just need infinite time and energy to equate them

there is no end to the counting of the qualities and quantities of God 
 Stretch your mind! You can do it 💆 
 add more time, reduce the infinitude 
 finitely
