You: That is missing the point. The point is that if being good means acting like God, then my desire to be good may lead me to do some rather ridiculous — if not outright immoral — things.

Aaron: God is a goal that we must all strive for. Any actions he takes that we do not understand cannot be called evil, no matter how poorly we may understand them.

You: That may sound very logical, but the fact of the matter is that if I cannot understand God's actions I can hardly hope to emulate them. Because I cannot understand what God would mean by "good," I can hardly say that he either defines it or causes it.

Aaron: You are so busy trying to define terms that you are completely missing my point. The truth is that good would be meaningless without God — there would not even be such a thing.

You: Well, you've completely lost me with that one. I think it's time for you give it up.

Aaron: Not without trying another. Your immortal soul is far too important for me to give up so easily.

You: Thanks.
