Pastor Jones, in the middle of his sermon, jumps prostrate to the floor, slamming his forehead onto the carpet: "Oh, Lord! I am nothing before you!"
Deacon John follows, his forehead whacking the floor: "Oh, Lord! I am nothing before you!"
Old Pete jumps from his pew, goes to his knees, puts his forehead on the floor. "Lord! I am nothing before you!"
Deacon John snickers at Pastor Jones: "Look who thinks he's nothing!"

as ye do unto the least of them...
I've said, if I were God, I'd be more impressed by how people took care of my creation than how people praised me. I've often wondered, in Man's creation of God, the imagine, what God wants, if people don't project their own desires onto the image they created.
When people say: "God wants us to.." what they really mean is: "I want us to..."
Measeurement rules are set by glitters. In Hindu mythology there is a king killed by God Vinshnu for becoming too humble and good. God said that too much of nothing can be good. Of course there is political twist in it if we interpret that way.
Given the contained assumption: God's love is not limited, then indeed, two infinities could not be compared.
1)A sentient being we can call God exists
2)This being can have an emotion we call love
3)This emotion we call love this being has is unlimited.
You are correct.
I didn't ask a question. I titled an article, a ironic muse about how certain people perceive their individual relationship to what they believe God to be.
