Euthyphro dilemma

[Ignorant]

The trouble, Igno, is that your "third option" can be restated -as- the dilemma.  That means that it isn't a third option, it's contained in the two options already presented.

Right, but when "being the best human you can be" is the same thing as "being human", let's read what you see as a dilemma:

Does God command that you "be human" because it is good? or

Is it good to "be human" because god commands you to be so?

Now one step further, substituting what it means to "command" that you "be human": i.e. create

Does God create you to "be human" because it is good? or

Is it good to "be human" because God creates you?

Not exactly euthyphro is it?

The more I see mildly intelligent people being theists... who also seem rather honest (like Ignorant for example, he seems sincere)... the more I realize how much theism is really just about mental gymnastics and self-delusion to cope with the shittiness of life more easily.

I'm just thrilled you find me mildly intelligent. 

Or maybe just honest and sincere... I'll take those too!
