How do you contextualize number 2 and number 5 in the case of egypts firstborn? Seems like a lack of love might have lead to a bunch of negative outcomes that night. Failing at ones own self serving standard is the queen bee of own goaling. OFC, I'd suggest that everything above are your standards..not the standards of what does or doesn't constitute the greatest of great fairies. Great fairy might not act in accordance with what you need or want it to be...but it's probably doing exactly what it needs or wants to do.
First, I added a line to the syllogism in the original post while you were writing this.
Second, you are saying what makes someone great is what they do. That is not true. Only potential is required. The more potential the greater the being. If God exists, he existed timelessly causally prior to creation of the universe. You cannot say that God's properties were not great during this state.
If you say so....but you're still limiting great-making properties subjectively, so why would it matter? If one person has the potential to do x but doesn't do it, and the other person actually does it..and if that x is a great making property..then in what sensible and objective way is the guy with potential but no action the equal or greater than the guy who actualizes his potential? Would you like to include the -potential- to be the greatest babykiller in your list of required attributes for a god? Still a fail....compared to the god who actually -does- all the babykilling.
So, number 2 and 6, now, I guess? Gonna take a crack at that one or no?
(I'm practically telegraphing this one to you..it's right there, your god -is- a great babykiller, the greatest babykiller of them all..no less. All you have to do is grab that honoric for great fairy....lol, what's the holdup?)
