God & Objective Morals

[Tex]

Yes.. I agree that a being necessarily has to exist for that being to have any attributes... that's just intuitive. The problem is these attributes it actually holds, why, because I don't see any reason for God being this way instead of another. Could God have been internally infinitely Evil? If no, then what made it *necessary* for him to be infinitely Good?

Ah, now I understand your question. At this point, since I've taken no class nor done heavy individual study on a question this deep, take my words with a grain of salt.

The reason why God, as necessary being, must be both Being itself and Goodness itself is the absolute interlacing of the two: to exist is good. God, as Being unlimited, would then equally be Goodness unlimited. In so far as you exist, you are good. Even a demon, in so far as he exists, is good.

Can Being exist separate from Good? No. If Being were separate from Good, then existence is in itself literally "worth-less". God's own existence, much like a DCT ethics, is now arbitrary, and thus without reason. This begs the question, "Why the system in the first place?".

Alright, I tried. I like everything except the last paragraph because it really seems like a word game rather than legitimate logic. Tell me what you think.
