Okay. If you won't play the game, you've lost it.
If you have an offensive to take against nonbelievers, by all means do so. But as far as I can see, nobody is disputing that the original Euthyphro was not made against the Christian God, so you're kicking at shadows. All we're saying is that the Euthyphro dilemma can easily be applied to the Christian God with a simple question. In order to beat us, you'll have to address that question.
I don't blame you for not wanting to. Several Christians have recently tried to, and none of them were able to. That's why I keep it in my signature with other "questions Christians can't answer." Or, in this case, dare I say...daren't?
And I'm saying that the application of the Euthyphro Dilemma has to FIRST be vetted out and understood conceptually and within its own various levels of context. No one is doing this, but folks then surreptitiously decide to rip the dilemma out of Euthyphro and apply it then to a foreign theistic construct (i.e. Christianity).
There's no methodological justification for doing so thus far other than, "Uh.....well, I can.....so I will."
