The euthyphro dilemma.
#10
RE: The euthyphro dilemma.
Godschild pretty much has it.

What you are saying is that someone's character must be defined by external sources, and that the internal has nothing to do with who we are and what we do. This is a presumtuous assertion that leaves no real room for growth as a human being and change of the internal kind. It would suggest that, for one to grow and learn, external forces must be added to the person's current state, which is simply untrue.

You are an atheist, VOID. This is because of internal decisions and thoughts which you have had, and conclusions which you yourself have drawn. (Unless you'd like to debate that and suggest that you are atheist by virture of someone [/b]else's[/b] thoughts.) From you, your atheism radiates and shows in your actions, your beliefs or lack thereof, and your thought processes. Your atheism is your own, held only by you. No other person in the universe can claim to possess 'theVOID's atheism.'

Similarly, God possesses goodness and is the definition of good. From Him, all good things radiate and show through the universe and the way in which it works. To observe God's goodness, one must observe the world and the way in which it is created. Since God is all-knowing, He internally understands in what ways His goodness must be put to use. Godness is within Him and is His very being. It is not created or instigated by outside sources, because it is from within.
