- challenges to the divine command theory
- euthyphro dilemma
- is morality arbitrary if it is down to the command of a divine being?
- if god decides what is good then does this suggest god does this because they are right and good independent of god?
- there is a problem with identifying a specific religious ethic within a religion and the variety of interpretations this may be given
- there are more controversial aspects of conflict when a small minority group within a religion may propose specific interpretations of ethical principles that other groups in that religion may not agree with.
- the main challenge is that it has no flexibility to adapt to the changing views about morality that are accepted by most people today.
- euthyphro dilemma
