And what does greatness mean?

It means very large, powerful, or wonderful.  We use it when we see something that is bigger or more powerful than us, or that we really like a lot.

It's not a thing, and it does not exist.  It's a word to DESCRIBE things that do actually exist.  Putting "-ness" on an adjective doesn't make it exist.  It just changes it to a noun so you can talk about the concept that the adjective represents.

Do you deem any human to have a great value?

I was offered seventeen camels for my wife when I went to Turkey, does that count?


The going rate is 15 camels. I hope you took advantage of that deal.

Are "you" only subjective?

Why don't you answer?

It's because this is the underlying question.

If you are objective, the next question is what are you?

And if you are subjective, what are you?

I wasn't answering because it was a dumb question. Do you actually not understand the definitions of objective and subjective?

Objective: not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

People are objectively real. I thought this was simple.

Subjective: based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.

Values are quite subjective. One person can value something that another does not value. This is basic shit, MK.

I am not asking about your physical form, I am asking about who you are. Who you are as a person, is that subjective or objective?

I only have evidence of my physical form. If you want me to accept anything beyond that, provide some evidence that anything else exists.

If God exists, do you think he would not give you at the very least this essential knowledge of who you are?

You don't actually have any evidence of physical form (which is not the measurement of reality), you in fact, only have evidence of your spiritual form which you directly see. 

Everything else you are interpreting to be physical but matter as in non-spiritual existence has no proof and has never been attempted to be proven by any human.

I've seen no evidence of anything like that.
