Last week I taught a class to the Apologetics Group in the Orange County Campus Ministry at UC Irvine. The class was on the Transcendental, and Moral arguments for the existence of God. I wasn't able to record the whole thing but I was able to record a few 10 minute clips of the class. In this clip I explain the most common Atheist response to the Moral Argument, namely the Euthyphro Dilemma.

The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's dialogue "Euthyphro," in which Socrates asks Euthyphro: "Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?"

In Christian terms, this is transformed into: "Is what is moral commanded by God because it is moral, or is it moral because it is commanded by God?" The dilemma has continued to present a problem for theists since Plato presented it and it continues to be an object of theological and philosophical discussion with respect to the Moral Argument.  Here I offer a refutation of the Euthyphro Dilemma.

This is the first class I've ever taught on this subject so I'm still refining my teaching style.  I saw a lot of things in the video that gave me an idea of what I can work on in the future.  Nevertheless, I think the main point is clear.  Any comments would be appreciated.
