[QUOTE="CrystalDragon, post: 70876538, member: 386732"] For those who don't know what this dilemma is, it was proposed by Plato in his dialogue [I]Euthyphro[/I] in which Socrates asks Euthyphro, "Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?" Which basically means this to us now: "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?" So, thoughts and responses on that question? And if the second half [I]is[/I] what you subscribe to, if something that you consider wrong (like murdering those who don't follow your exact societal practices) was suddenly decided by God to be "morally good", would you do it?
