What are the implications of accepting a theory in which a morally perfect


God could command actions that seem morally abhorrent to humans?
Ans:
Accepting the idea that a morally perfect God could command actions that seem
morally abhorrent to humans raises challenges to our moral intuitions, theological
dilemmas, and questions about the source of morality, faith, and obedience.

If different religions and religious texts claim different divine commands,


how do we reconcile conflicting moral directives? How can we determine
which divine commands, if any, are genuinely from a morally perfect God?
Ans:
Reconciling conflicting moral directives from different religions and texts is a
complex challenge. Determining which, if any, are genuinely from a morally perfect
God often depends on individual faith, interpretation, and cultural factors, making it
a matter of personal belief and perspective.

What would a world look like if morality were based on a different


framework entirely rather than divine commands? How might human
behavior and societal norms differ?
Ans:
A world where morality is based on a different framework, such as secular ethics or
philosophical principles, would likely emphasize human reason, empathy, and
societal well-being as the foundation for moral principles. Human behavior and
societal norms might be shaped by rational discourse, empathy, and the pursuit of
collective welfare rather than religious doctrines, potentially leading to more diverse
but broadly humanistic moral standards.
