You are pretty good at philosophically undermining simple positions.
But there's a problem-- your ideas about God and Jesus cannot be shown to represent reality. Playing with paradoxes, talking about infinity, etc. is fun, but you are lacking any sensible evidence at all. Nor have you established any philosophical need for the God idea that couldn't be as well solved by another philosophical quantity.
Philosophical niceties are essentially legal work: "Can you guarantee, ONE HUNDRED percent, that the guy you saw rape and kill your wife wasn't actually a doppelganger created in a secret Russian lab to undermine the American government? CAN YOU FOR SURE?" "Ummmmm. . . it's possible I was hallucinating, but that seems highly improbable." "SEE!? It COULD have been a doppelganger. You have unwittingly admitted it!"
So stop trying to sell your secret Russian doppelganger, and stop the rest of your tap dancing, and demonstrate that your God idea is real. If you can't, then eventually all the hot air will dissipate, people will get bored of reading through irrational text walls, and you'll lose your audience. And your failure to convince will, undoubtedly, make Baby Jesus cry.
