It is analytically true (true by definition) that God is good. Good is defined as that which corresponds to God’s will. Any alternative definition leads to absurdity.

Let Gobs be defined as good.
From the previous statement, Gobs is good.
I frankly find your definition of goodness absurd. If a subjective being arbitrates the difference between good and evil, they lose meaning.
Can you please provide evidence for the existence of gods in general, and your God in particular, and then define what God is?
You know what lead to absurdity? The idea that owning another human being as property can be considered good simply because your god condones it. After reading Bible, I can confidently state that I am, by many orders of magnitude, more good than the Christian god.
Well, according to Mr.Lisle reasoning, drowning and dashing open the heads of babies is 'good' since it was an action of his god.
You know, I am starting to see where the creators of Warhammer 40k got their inspiration for Khorne from.
"Any alternative definition leads to absurdity."
Can we ask the child just how fucking good he thought god was as he stared at the raised knife?
Someone.somewhere is sure to be convinced by this fatuous nonsense, maybe, er not really. Which leads to the far more interesting question, why did Jason write it? Does he derive satisfaction from reading back the complete bollocks that he has written? Did he forget to take his meds? Is he just a twit? Or is it a combination of all three?
Who died and made him....oh.
Still, if a human leader directed his followers to do what your god did in the Bible, he'd be labeled a monstrous tyrant.
But you guys still forgive him and worship him slavishly. That's fucking stupid.
His Holy Sauciness The Flying Spaghetti Monster. His only commandment: Don't be a dick.
"WH40K"'s Khorne. He forbids the slaughter of the defenceless . [/Even Evil Has Standards]
Then you lot wonder why parody religions exist today?
May Haruhi Suzumiya forgive you. Because I won't! HMPH! [/Tsundere] It's not as if she doesn't want to erase you from existence...! X3
The Catma that is Shamisen is superior to your Dogma Jase LIEsle. =^_^= [/Bastet]
Didn't your god say we should stone those that use circular reasoning?
Oh, wait, sorry, perhaps I'm confusing that with your god's "good will" that says we must stone disobedient children, stone those that eat shellfish, stone those that work on the sabbath, and kill entire towns if anyone within worships another god.
So you take prong A on the Euthyphro dilemma.
Are (A) things good because God commands them or (B) God commands things which are good.
That means morality is arbitrary and dependent upon the whim of God.
Is mincing live puppies on pay-per-view good or bad?
Jason doesn't know unless God decides. And if God is down with puppy mincing, Jason is as well.
Should we allow septagenerians to be sexually violated with a rusty hand saw?
If God says it's okay, then that'd be a good thing to Jason, and objecting would be a 'sin'.
And apparently this is the definition that avoids absurdity.
Fundtardery at it's most refined.
But it's demonstrably true by direct observation that god is NOT good, Jason. He's a supposed omnipotent and omniscient being who does nothing to address the suffering of the creation he supposedly loves.
A single child going to bed hungry or abused by an adult, with god doing NOTHING to effectively intervene, is proof that god is not good.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
