Part 3 Applied Ethics - Divine Command Theory and God
Divine Command Theory also implies three claims about God. First, it argues that God exists. This is an assumption at the heart of Divine Command Theory. Second, it contends that God has commanded or approved certain actions and that God has forbidden or disapproved others. Finally, Divine Command proposes that the actions that God has commanded or approved are morally right and that the one's that God has forbidden or disapproved are morally wrong.
If you do not believe all three of these things, then you will have to reject Divine Command Theory. However, just accepting these three things does not force you to accept Divine Command Theory. You can believe all three and still think that Divine Command Theory is false.
