 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
