The Euthyphro Dilemma?

[_MrStakhanovite]

I wrote my own exegesisof the Euthyphro "Dilemma" that plays a common role in Atheist/Theist discourse:

Notice what is lacking here? First, there is no actual dilemma. Euthyphro isn’t stuck between two hard choices, but a choice between being obviously false or being so trivially true that it adds nothing to the discussion and does not further any understanding. Second, there is no mention of the gods being subservient to a higher moral code that renders them superfluous and there is no mention of morality being arbitrary. None of this is supported by the text itself.

So you're the one....

I was hoping you might ask what I thought about it.

Well, I will tell you anyway. I liked it and consider it enlightening.

Oh, and I once read that the critics of C. Bronte considered piety to be the regent of God on earth.

Stak, I am uncertain what this Euthyphro Dilemma means to you, but I would recommend repeated dilations until the catheter can be inserted without pain.
