The use of "greater" is completely ambiguous
Sorry. I didn't think "greater" was one of those big words that grownups use to confuse the simple. Look it up in the dictionary. It won't be that hard to understand. Really.
Ellen Johnson, president of American Atheists was on Hannity and Colmes tonight being just as intolerant as she was in this article.

I found sixteen different definitions of the word "greater" in the American Heritage Dictionary (that's just for use as an adjective). To which definition do you refer when using it in the context of "greater than ourselves"?
In the context of soft drinks, if I refer to a beverage that is "greater" than Mountain Dew, to what am I referring and why?
