What about this "paradox" of sorts...

Are God's commands morally right because he said them

OR

Are things morally right and therefore God said them.



Also: God is the supreme being of all "Good" qualities. He possesses a maximum of each quality. This would include Mercy, Justice, Loyalty and Trust etc etc

If God has infinite Mercy, how can he act with infinite justice towards the enemies of the people to whom he is loyal without breaking their trust?

Or basically, too many people give God the "max" in qualities that are mutually exclusive.
