Maybe God is a big troll!
Yup, that is another possibility! About the only explanation that doesn't work at all is one all-powerful, honest and caring God.
Exactly.
I mean, saying that whatever God does is good by definition... even if he thinks rape and murder and hellfire is okay... is a bit like someone pointing at a circle and saying "That's a square with four sides" and then when the other person gets confused they say "Of course, by "a square with four sides" I mean circle."
Lol.
Like... whatever God does is good by definition even if it's bad. How does that work? Lol.
The funny thing is... if morality is objective then that means there is right and wrong independent of what anyone thinks including God.
It's that dilemma isn't it?
The Euthyphro dilemma "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?".
My answer is, if it's only "moral" because God says so, even if it causes the most needless suffering ever... then that makes the word "moral" completely meaningless.
