The question that shatters faith, forever.

So essentially it is (what I call) morally right because God commands it. This means morality is arbitrary...
I think what Drich is trying to say is that deity is the absolute standard against which all other apparent standards are judged. For example, suppose you and I disagree on whether something is right or wrong. To resolve our different opinions, together we can look to a mutually agreed upon higher standard or principle for guidance. That standard could be the bible but it could just as easily be reason, compassion or any other agreed up source for moral judgments. From a theistic perspective, all valid standards for the goodness and truthfulness ultimately come from god.
