The euthyphro dilemma.
#17
RE: The euthyphro dilemma.
it doesn't have to be theistic.

Is good or right so because the laws and legislation say so, or are the laws and legislation trying to adhere to an external good?

I think that good is larger than god, but (to make this confusing) she did make (design, create) good. She, as the theoretical maker of the existence made good (not really on purpose, good is just proper function, and evil is dysfunction), and that may seem that I choose that she deems it so. But no, I think that to us the Good is more relevant, and that is becomes objective when reality was created.

So good is good only because it represents proper function. God make function, and properness, but they are much larger than her now. They are in charge.

And to Padraic, why is the problem of evil incompatible with the Abrehemic? Both Yahweh and Allah were pretty ruthless and rude at times. The prelim of modern evil doesn't mesh with "You have dominion over the earth" or "throw down you jewelry and I will dcide what to do with you next"? I would think an Atheist may say that the problem with modernity is too much compatibility with abrehemic values.
