Your reply that people often do bad things, has no value whatsoever to the conversation and does not address my point in the slighest.
And you still don't get it Star, even if the golden rule is universal - so what? How does a toothless ideal have any effect on behavior?
Euthyphro dilemma, has been dealt with here and in philosophy.
Christians: Um, if I say "God's nature", that like totally disproves Euthrypo's dilemma right? Okay, cool. "God's nature". Cool. We've definitively disproven the consensus of modern philosophers on the topic with our stunning argumentation. K, bye.
Me: ...that was supposed to be an argument, and a convincing one?
