If beauty doesn't require God, why should morality? (Bite me Dr. Craig.)

God is not an objective source, by definition.

"Objective", by definition, means independent of any being's opinions or judgments. This remains the definition no matter how powerful, wise or benevolent the said being might be.

That's just the tip of the iceberg of problems with this line of thinking.

"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
