Hi everyone. I thought some of you might be interested in reading this
article that was posted at TheologyOnline.com called, "A Christian
Answer to Euthyphro's Dilemma."
http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47024

In case you're not familiar with Euthyphro's Dilemma, it's a
philosophical argument that atheists like to use to claim that
morality cannot flow from God, because any absolute moral standard is
either a) arbitarily commanded by God, in which case even murder would
be OK if He said so, or b) a moral standard external to God would
exist, which would mean that some being is superior to Him.

This particular answer to the dilemma proves that only the Christian
deity (a triune god) can objectively know that an absolute moral
standard exists, because of the consistent, eternal witness within the
Godhead. In other words, Allah could not know for sure that he was
good.
