If there was such a god as you implied that said that the holocaust wasn’t wrong, he would be wrong as well.
I did say "just in a flowery language".
Your god is "good itself", and that good substantiates the "moralness" of the Holocaust act, determining/revealing it to be wrong through the good itself. I can do flowery language as well!
No, what you stated and what I stated are not the same thing. My view rejects a common conception of God, at least among atheists , where morality is some set of arbitrary rules from God, it rejects the sort of idea of god, that makes things such as the Euthyphro dilemma possible, in favor of a conception of God that falls in line with Plato’s conception of the Good.
In addition I don’t see the relationship between good and bad, like the relationship between north and south, but the relationship between north and not north. We recognize something is bad, by the recognition of the absence of the good in it, like light and dark, where darkness is a recognition of the absence of light.
