28. God / A. Divine Nature / 6. Divine Morality / b. Euthyphro question

2609	If God's decrees are good, and this is not a mere tautology, then goodness is separate from God's decrees [Russell]
	Full Idea: Theologians have always taught that God's decrees are good, and that this is not a mere tautology: it follows that goodness is logically independent of God's decrees.
	From: Bertrand Russell (Human Society in Ethics and Politics [1954], p.48)
