God does not determine right and wrong
RE: God does not determine right and wrong

To religious people: If god declared that rape and murder were morally acceptable, would that make them so? 

Most of you would probably say that god would not say such a thing. But why not? 

Because he's given us a conscience that tells most of us that those things are wrong.

If god thought those things were morally acceptable, most of us would find them morally acceptable too.
