Euthyphro dilemma

October 13, 2017 at 4:15 am

Quote:Wiki
The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's dialogue Euthyphro, in which Socrates asks Euthyphro, "Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?"

The dilemma has had a major effect on the philosophical theism of the monotheistic religions, but in a modified form: "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?

An interesting thought.

Theists, judging by what God has done to his own creations, why would anyone mention God and good in the same sentence? Dunno

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
