Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

Is God, which theists denote with infinite attributes, just an abstraction?
It was a joke  Jeh....... Hehe

To a mathematician (which I am not), it's a serious question, namely, infinities within infinities. For instance, on the real number line between 1 and 2, an infinite, uncountable, set of numbers exist; you can start with 1, but, then, you are done, because, you cannot possibly begin to enumerate all of the real numbers between 1 and 2, even if you would count forever and ever.

On the other hand, if you limit yourself to the rational numbers between 1 and 2, you can count those, even though there are an infinite number of them; you'll just spend forever counting them.
