Summary of Divine Command Theory
{"Image DocumentName": "Summary of Divine Command Theory", "Image ImageDescription": "Claim: You do not need to engage in moral deliberation. Merely consult your religious text or official to find out what is moral and immoral. Criticism of Divine Command Theory: 1) We cannot use reason to demonstrate which moral code, imparted by which religion, is the correct code to follow. 2) Abuse of religious authority for personal and political ends emphasizes the need for individual moral deliberation. 3) If it is possible that God can do bad things, we must admit there is a barometer of morality external to God. In rejecting the Divine Command Theory, we emphasize the moral agency of each individual; each of us has moral responsibility.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
