This is just a total non-starter.

Omnipotence, omniscience, morally perfect for starters. Opinions about greatness are beliefs. We are not talking about beliefs. You miss the point that even if we do no know every detail, that does not mean that maximal greatness does not exist.

No you miss the point ... even if we know every detail does not mean it does not exist  Dodgy
