[quote]Actually, your argument is so unoriginal that it has its own name - the Divine Command theory.[\quote]
Er, I know it has a name. So? What's important is not whether the argument is original, but whether it holds up. Imagine we're at a crime scene and a man is lying on the ground with a giant knife in his back. I say 'well, my hypothesis is that someone stabbed him in the back'. YOu respond 'how unoriginal!'. Yes, but it is what the evidence suggests.
