Gods immorality.

It is absolutely hilarious to see him twisting in the wind.  At every turn he weakens his own god by placing limits on what he can and can't do, and has the gall to imply he can know the mind of his deity.  Even better, he never addresses what we keep hounding him on.  He keeps saying, "Well, god would never do that" despite his own book saying he did at least once (more than once if you're smart enough to not just think that everyone except Noah and his family were good, or that Original Sin is utterly ridiculous).

None of that addresses what WLC said, which Steve agreed with:

Quote:The framework for my ethical theory is what is called divine command morality. What is that? That is an ethical theory which says that our moral duties are constituted by God’s commands. It is God’s commandments to us that give us right and wrong; that determine what we should and should not do. Therefore, if God issues you a command to do something, that becomes your moral duty and it would be wrong for you not to do it. 

Even better, further in the article Steve posted:

Quote:Now someone might say, “Are you saying that God can command someone to murder somebody else? Is that what you are saying?” No, I am not saying that God can command you to murder someone. I am saying that God can command you to do something which in the absence of a divine command would have been murder but is not murder in virtue of that divine command because it now becomes your moral duty. 

Note that WLC doesn't falter.  He doesn't try to hide behind caveats.  He flat out says that if god orders you to do something, you have a moral duty to do it.
