Religion Reflection

Our group had the most interesting discussion about the Euthyphro dilemma .. AKA does God command it because it is right, or is it right because God commands it? Even though we talked about it in class it was interesting to delve deeper and hear some more intelligent ideas from everyone.
Obviously there's a problem with this entire thing, hence the title dilemma. If God commands it because it is right, then there must be some perfect form of "rightness".  However, if it is right because God commands it then we are at the mercy of someone or something we can only believe in. This opens up the possibility for people to do some crazy things in the name of God. Our entire group talked about which theory we agreed with more, then we talked about what makes a prophet a prophet, and whether or not their teachings would have the same power if they were just coming from average men. As a group we came to the conclusion that God commanding it because it's right make's more sense. This allows for there to be some sort of higher power no matter what religion you ascribe to, and we liked that.
