Why not?

Because if God can decide what morality is, then it would be arbitrary as acknowledged by philosophers of both atheists and theists. But I argued it's not arbitrary. Are you aware of the Euthyphro dilemma. It's suppose to be a proof that morality is independent of God but really I'm using to show that it linked to God and God is eternal morality or eternal morality exists in him.

I think you are dancing around in the superstructure without establishing the foundation. The fact that Plato described it doesn't mean it it not airy speculation based on no firm supporting structure.

What is objective morality? An morality that not only is agreed upon, but would be agreed upon (in some way) in any circumstances?
