  >No it's not. It's saying that a God that can do two things, i.e. be rational and be irrational, is greater than a God that can just do one thing, be irrational. Actually, the God that "can do two things, i.e. be rational and be irrational" is my description -- I was supporting that (e.g. see above: "unbounded by logical or physical constraints", "God that can be illogical or beyond logic (such us that logical and illogical make no sense as restrictions to him)", "God created logic and can break it at will" -- which means can also follow it at will, etc.). You were going by a more restricted God that can only be rational. Not to mention your own comparison is based on rationality. Even ignoring what I wrote above, from the standpoint of God "a God that can do two things" might not be greater than a "God that can only do one". God himself defines not just physical laws and logic, but also the very meaning of notions like "greater" (that is, works on a meta level). "More if greater" is our undestanding of what's greater, not necessarily God's (like a child thinks more sugar in food is greater, but a parent knows better). It would be constraining to assume of God the constrains of greatness than we are bound to.
