I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

The premises of the questions are wrong, hence they do not speak to the knowledge of anyone but yourself unfortunately. There are no last element in an infinite chain, because that is contradictory to the fact that they are infinite. Even questions such as the barber's paradox, that are not logical fallacies, do not imply the nonexistence of god.

Mathematically speaking, everyone knows the last digit in Pi due to there not being one. We call this concept that something is vacuously true. Similarly a nonsense statement such as "all ants on the moon eat people for breakfast" is also true by default.
