But what does that mean? To atheists it sounds a bit mumbo jumbo. If god is the source of all good, god is good is meaningless because he is not independent of his own standards. If he is the source of all values by virtue of being intrinsicly good, that would mean he radiates goodness into the universe. So rocks and galaxies would also be moral. There is a shed load of biblical stuff that we could interject here but it would send this thread in another direction. You need to show where my premises or logic is flawed, rather than assert "god is good".
