Tex Wrote:If you didn't know what "Divine Command" meant, you should have ask here or asked google. Divine Command says that whatever God commands is good. If he changes his mind and commands the opposite, it's still good. The command by God is what makes the thing good. Islam follows this philosophy. Christianity does not. God doesn't just go by what he feels like doing. God goes by what he is. Usually, we call this his "nature". God didn't create a moral code for us, he is the moral code for us. When God created the universe, he was looking to see how much good he could do.
You're not getting rid of the Euthyphro Dilemma here. Does "God's nature" determine what's good, or is what's good "God's nature"? Not only is this even more arbitrary than regular DCT, but it actually fails to give any reason why we should even follow "God's nature" for morality because it seems as if it was out of his control what his own nature was going to be. DCT suggests that God chose certain commands for whatever arbitrary reason, but here you're saying God just... is? It makes less and less sense the more you think about it.
