Explain the nature of holiness

Reference no: EM133357937

Assignment:

Well, which is it? Is something holy because it is loved by the gods or is loved by the gods because it is holy? If it is the first, then the holy is the result of an arbitrary act of the will. If it is the second, then the gods are unnecessary to explain holiness-and you yourself have again failed to explain, the nature of holiness. None of these outcomes is acceptable.
