minus-squarep3n@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·2 years agoYes, this. This supposes that either: A. There is the existence good and evil that supersedes the authority of God ( which means God cannot be sovereign over morality ) B. I define good and evil and then judge “god” based on my definition ( which from a moral standpoint would actually make me god ) I suspect that this really isn’t a paradox for most people because they either: A. Look at the world and see horrible things they don’t like and then want to judge God for them ( with what authority ? ) B. They don’t believe in God to begin with but like to use this chart to re-enforce their belief that they are logically correct. A God that literally defines good and evil by his existence ( I AM ) breaks this chart.
