He Tried Defending God's Morality... It Went Horribly Wrong

The Euthyphro dilemma reveals a fundamental problem with divine command theory: if morality is defined solely by God's commands, then any action God orders would be considered good, regardless of its nature. This creates a logical inconsistency where someone who claims God is the source of morality cannot consistently reject harmful actions (like stoning innocent people or killing babies) when hypothetically commanded by God, because doing so would mean morality exists independently of divine will rather than being defined by it.
