New Euthyphro problem just dropped.
He says things that are racist and dehumanizing, things that exclude some people from the universe of those entitled to respect, human rights, minimal decency.

Babe wake up, Sebastian Gorka is re-litigating the Euthyphro Dilemma
"Our [Christian] God can't do that. In the theology of Islam, that is deemed to be heretical. There can be no limitations on Allah. Therefore, he can have a capricious attitude to morality."
White House counterterrorism czar says that under the theology of Islam, "Allah could decree tomorrow that murder is just."

NYT needs to read the Euthyphro dialogue and figure out that Hitler and Mussolini are bad because they're genocidal fascists, not that genocide and fascism are bad because Hitler and Mussolini did them.

Modern evangelicals happily gore themselves on one horn of the Euthyphro dilemma and call that “moral realism,” and I completely understand why people are repulsed by that sort of moral philosophy.

Divine 'morality'
If an action is wrong only because God forbids it, that turns morality into divine legislation rather than morality in the ethical sense.

(Euthyphro dilemma)
Arguably, religion precludes morality. Morality is an individual sense of right vs wrong, whereas legality is society's determination of allowable vs intolerable. Scripture-based religion replaces morality with legality--God's command.
