"Greatest" would be a manifestation of every logical possibility.
Surely the "greatest possible being" is one that could do the impossible, no? If it can create the laws of logic, why can't it violate them?
No, it couldn't do the impossible by definition. It wouldn't create "laws of logic", which would just be essential unchanging propositions.
Quote:I think the greatest possible being is one that could create the universe without ever having existed in the first place, but that's just what you get when you toss around subjective terms like they have objective meaning.
A non-existent being creating the universe?
Yes, being "greatest" would be subjective.
Hail Satan!
