Euthyphro dilemma
#15
RE: Euthyphro dilemma
@Wallym
-which would simply be an affirmation of the second proposition.  

It doesn't actually matter if we use gods or men as the subject of the dilemma.  If things are good or bad by virtue declaration then things like rape and genocide could be virtuous, if they were declared to be so.

@Ignorant
You've completely failed to engage the dilemma, and because of this, could not have resolved it by anything you've said.

Does god command you to "be the best human you can be" because that would be good...

Or is it good to be "the best human you can be" because god commands you to be so?

In the case of the former, then the commander is not the author of goodness. In the case of the latter, if god commands rape or genocide......then it's good. The dilemma exists in that some people wish for their god to be the author of goodness..but simultaneously would not accept a command of rape or genocide -as- goodness...and yet......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
