Or: how  does God Himself decide what is good and evil? Isn't He, at
least,  basically in the same position as us atheists?




One of trickiest issues for the notion of god is whether god knows there is  
good or evil. If there is good and evil that god judges then there is 
something  outside of god that constrains god's behavior and therefore god is 
not the  
ultimate thing in the universe. If on the other hand god just does what god 
does  than there is no good or evil and there is no basis for morality. 
(argument  curtsey of Spinoza).
