This phrase to me seems to be a rather dishonest use of rethoric.
By stating the extreme position that for you there is eigther "gods" morality or "social darwinism", you exclude other options and either with intent or without, accuse those not using your concept of "devine morality" of being part of the other extreme.
But maybe I`m wrong.

I was very interested in this subject for a long time, out of various reasons, such as my countries history and being a victim of bullying - a interest in morality and the reasoning behind inmoral decission-taking.
I`d be very interested in a debate about this subject. Do you have any specific questions or some starting argument?
