Euthyphro dilemma

It's interesting that you even described this with "creative" language (i.e. what MAKES them). See if you follow me:

You determine to make a thing which, if it ever comes to-be, will have its own inherent goodness. Not-being-anything-at-all-yet, that thing is neither good nor inherently good (it is nothing).

Then, YOU fulfill the necessary conditions for actually causing that thing to-be AS having-its-own-inherent-goodness. Your fulfilling-of-those-conditions is what GIVES both the thing's-being AND the inherent goodness to the thing. That is to say, BOTH the thing itself and its inherent goodness DIRECTLY depend on your fulfilling-of-its-conditions for being-at-all.

Now, I suppose you would say that your relationship to the thing isn't related to what-makes-it-good? If so, I don't understand. Removing your relationship to the thing is the same thing as removing your fulfilling-of-its-conditions for being-at-all. Without you... it never becomes a thing at all.
