-The dilemma is a [[false dichotomy]]. The answer is that goodness is a necessary aspect of God's nature. It is not apart from God, but he didn't decide it.
+Thinkers grounded in Christianity and other branches of Monotheism hold that athesism predicated in the Euthyphro Dilemma is the practices of a [[false dichotomy]].

-In this context, piety and holiness are interchangable with virtue or goodness.
+In this context, piety and holiness are interchangeable with virtue or goodness.
 Socrates is asking Euthyphro whether: (a) the gods love something because it is good, or (b) whether the object is good [[Divine command theory|because the gods love it]].
 If we take (a) to be true, then the gods are unnecessary, because the object would be good regardless of their existence.

	In ''Euthyphro'', Socrates carries on a discussion on the nature of piety with Euthyphro, an acquaintance whom he meets on the steps of the courthouse as he (Socrates) arrives to answer to charges of [[impiety]] brought against him. Socrates discovers that Euthyphro is there in the capacity of a litigant bringing charges against his own father over the death of a laborer in his employ, one who had been retained because of his involvement in the death of a slave. For pressing charges against his father, Euthyphro had been reproached for being impious and it was this which led Socrates to inquiry about the nature of piety.
