PROBLEM???

The Euthypro dilemma

A dilemma is a situation where you have two options and both of them are undesirable. (like two horns!)

E.g. your best friends partner is cheating on them. They are unaware but you find out. If you tell your friend they will hate you for it, and if you dont, it will continue.

The Euthypro dilemma the two horns!

"Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it
pious because it is loved by the gods?" (Socrates) Is X good because God says so, or does God say X is good because its good? (X is any morally good action, like giving to charity).

The Euthyphro dilemma neither answer to the question WHY IS X GOOD?is satisfactory X is good because...
God says so, and that makes it good (what God commands/says goes)
Abhorrent Arbitrary
Morality is just Gods whim the toss of a Empty coin. If it wasnt It seems trivial to call arbitrary, then God good. Why He would be praise God for being commanding it good when whatever because it was he does becomes independently a good because he did good thing. it? God could command anything even horrible crimes.

It is independently good, and that is why God says it is good.

MORALITY IS BIGGER THAN GOD!!! God cannot change what is right and wrong, so He is slave to it as we are.

The Euthyphro dilemma - Solution X is good because...

God says so!
It is good, and God says so because of this.
An objective and unchangeable standard exists (vs option 1) But this is internal to the nature of God. He is not following rules external to him (vs option 2)

The Euthyphro dilemma - Solution Does this work?

An objective and unchangeable standard exists (vs option 1) But this is internal to the nature of God. He is not following rules external to him (vs option 2)

Uh oh... a similar dilemma seems to apply!

Is Gods character good because it refers to some independent standard of goodness... Independence problem? ...or is it good because it is? Arbitrary?

Does it make sense to say that God is supremely good?

Whats your conclusion to the Euthyphro Dilemma? Here are some possibilities

Whatever way you look at it, it is a dilemma and there is no way out, thus demonstrating the vacuous nature of the attribute supremely good.

The Euthyphro Dilemma is a false dilemma. There is a third option which answers the problem.

This discussion is further evidence that the concept of God is incoherent. Are we prepared to accept that this is part of the mysterious nature of God, or is it so mysterious as to be meaningless?
