On Hell and Forgiveness

[SteveII]

There only has to be a greatest WITHIN the property for this to make sense. Your unconnected pairs do nothing to undermine the concept. 

Bravery: does not apply to God.
Compassion: the greatest amount of compassion possible
Honesty: the highest possible standard
Respect: does not apply to God. 

Each property has within itself the concept of what is greater. There is no external standard that has to be dreamed up. It is already there. There is no "maximal for *all* virtues." Just string the greatest possible attributes together--and then you have God.

OK, so you are picking and choosing virtues that can or cannot be used. How do you choose? Why do bravery and respect not apply to God? They *are* virtues, are they not?

And once again, even if each virtue you choose has a maximum, there is no reason to think they all have the *same* maximum. In fact, having a common maximum on unrelated orders is very, very rare.

So, again, why do you think that there is a *common* maximum for all these virtues?

Why use the word 'virtues'. That is a moral term and the wrong word because it only applies to a very small list of moral subcategories. We are talking about properties of a person. Is that your problem all along? 
To be brave requires one to act in spite of fear. Do you really think God fears anything? Respect requires admiration. Do you think God admires anyone? I think you imagine a thousand moral terms and can't make sense of them all. Don't.
