CL,
He's not simply sharing his views, he's arguing a point and strawmaned the shit out of an assumed atheist position in the OP by intentionally ignoring what that response is in reply to. The 'just sharing' defense is bullshit. If how I choose to reply in turn is too much for your fragile sensibilities then ignore me. I won't stand by in an open forum and passively accept the blatant rationalizations and twisted logic required to conclude that a deity that wipes out almost all of existence out of spite isn't an evil prick.
The entire charade smacks of Stockholm syndrome and shouldn't be taken seriously. There really are only two solutions to Euthyphro's dilemma: 1. God doesn't exist or 2. Drop the omni-benevolent/ultimate good fantasy and admit your God is sometimes an evil prick as clearly demonstrated in your most cherished text.
This is also another case where people assume we haven't heard this tripe before. Even if Steve was 'just sharing', it isn't anymore reasonable simply because of someone's personal conviction on the matter.
I also think you don't understand what I mean by 'grow up'. I don't give a flying fuck what you believe and your particular beliefs don't make you childish; it's your insistence and expectation that this is to be taken seriously that is similar to a child's expectation that others take seriously the claim. The expectation is preposterous.
