They merely redefine goodness to be "whatever God says or does" even when what God says and does in the Bible is morally repugnant and very very not good.
You really don't have a clue, do you? Read some Plotinus and get back to us.
As for Ignorant's comments, he is correct in so much as one adopts the essentialist position and deny the nominalist one. It means something to be human and to be good is to act in accordance with one's created nature. Those of you who are trying to maintain the dilemma seem to be unaware that doing so is incompatible with inalienable human rights.
