From that article on morality:
That's because the theist view of morality is basically a vacuous one. It doesn't say anything about morality other than God is the ground for morality. Theists themselves then have to decide the specifics regarding morality, and so end up still being in the same boat as non-theists trying to figure it out.
Quote:It's also worth noting that despite examining several different moral theories in his book, from constructivism, to instrumentalism, to consequentialism, to virtue-ethics, to utilitarianism, Carroll never gives serious consideration to the theistic view. He never considers God to be the objective ground of morality. This is likely because Carroll presumes poetic naturalism is true, and thereby precludes God from the outset.
