Inherent
Notice how the term consistently refers to the thing itself? This is all I mean when I say that whatever goodness is inherent to a thing is apart from god. It's intrinsic, innate, in-built, indwelling, inborn, etc. It wouldn't matter if billy, bob, steve, god, or no-one in particular made it the way it is, the way that it is is what makes it good...and this is whats being asked by the first horn.

Quote:3) If you are an intellectual heir of voluntarist/nominalist thought... then sure. But if there is a metaphysic/philosophical school of thought that has a coherent understanding by which participated being includes inherent properties by participation (surprise: there is at least one such school), then, poof, the dilemma disappears.Feel free to resolve the dilemma at your leisure, then? You simply won't be able to do so with propositions that are functional equivalents of the two invoked by the dilemma - and that;s what you've offered thusfar.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
