For the Glory of God and the Divinities: In Response to Euthyphero's Dilemma

Firstly, divinities have been around for eons, giving them a much deeper perspective on the world. What looks good to us in the short-term could have disastrous consequences in the future. Negligence is wrong. Worse yet are those who do not heed the wisdom of ages, even though it is before their eyes. There are definitely worse things to do than learn from those who know more than you do. Second, divinities as operate on alien moral principles. Divinities will not scruple to secure their vital strategic interests. So, a basic understanding of what these are is most helpful for mankind. As an example of how morality applies across great chasms of power and knowledge, take the case of the dog who bites someone. A dog who acts in such a fashion is put down. Had the creature troubled to make a study of human morality, it would not be in such a predicament. For benefit of those creatures who have a certain difficulty in learning our customs, we determine upon a effective program of instruction. Those creatures who nevertheless fail to learn our ethics, we condemn on the grounds of peculiarly firmly-rooted "original sin", or obstinant error, which damns them in our eyes. You see, while might does not make right, right can find its expression in might. 2A persistent preponderance of might can express right, seeing as there is no reasonable course but to heed it. Some nuance of resistance and/or acceptance is key here. History is very important, in that it gives us the perspective of a divinity. Divinities like to write things in the history books, when they get the chance. Hence the sayings, "History repeats itself", and "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
