Question

(SOCIOLOGY) As each religion has different “rules,” what flaws can you find with the Divine Command Theory? Give at least one example.

Answer 1

The first problem with any DCT is that we have no evidence that there even is the requisite God, much less which God’s commands are the commands of that God. There are hundreds of different ethical systems attributed to “God.” This is so even within the umbrella of Christian theism; all the more so when we consider other theisms.
