Most of the time when you see the word greater, it would be in math, or when something is more than something else is, sort of black and white; you cannot tell with this, though. .
A Fallacy of Equivocation occurs with "greater" being used in two different senses in this argument. Is one hundred dollars in reality "greater" than one hundred dollars in one's mind? This begs the question of qualitative vs. quantitative. Quantitatively speaking, yes, 100 equals 100. Qualitatively speaking however, the answer would be no. One hundred dollars in one's mind does not buy anything; so in that case, the one hundred dollars in reality is "greater". The language of this argument is confusing. And it is written that way on purpose. The argument is circular. It uses steps throughout to build all around it, then at the end, it tries to use several of the steps from the beginning to prove what it would like, but it is false. It is written like that for a reason. If it were not written like that, it would not be so effective.
Suppose I conceive of an island. An island that's simply the greatest island that anybody will ever imagine. I can conceive of it in my mind only though. But wait, that's silly, why couldn't I imagine it existing, some uncharted desert isle, it could happen. So, it could exist in reality as well as in my mind. Since reality is greater than the mind alone, it can be concluded that there is now an island that is greater than what was once considered the greatest island that anybody will ever imagine. But this is impossible, because it is a contradiction. Therefore, it is false that the greatest island that anybody will ever imagine exists in the mind alone and not in reality. But as we all know, there is no such perfection.
What this fool of fools did not stop to look at before he replied to my argument was that an island could not really be compared to the Almighty I will show you how.
