The Op keeps comparing subjective apples and oranges . Morality even if it was subjective can't be compared to a like of fruit .

Divine command theory and divine nature theory are as arbitrary as fuck. You can't take action like charity say it's positive and what maximally great being approves of . That's just you taking your presumed moral beliefs and imposing them on god then  defining it as positive and maximally good. Sorry simply saying he has this attribute and this attribute is this won't cut it.

But that doesn't stop people and that's my whole point.

Not sure what your referring to . If you mean the first comment . There stopping or lack of is irrelevant.
